Starbucks apologizes for racial slur written on Latino customer's cup

Less than two weeks before Starbucks is set to close its 8,000 company-owned stores for an afternoon of racial-bias training, the company issued yet another apology for a racist incident that occurred in one of its California stores.

On Tuesday, at a Starbucks in La Cañada Flintridge, California, a Latino customer named Pedro reportedly had the racist slur, “BEANER,” written on his coffee cup in place of his name.
