Setting up the continuation thread.

First thread at https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4801699-video-of-starbucks-employee-in-uk-branch

Call me cynical if you will, but when the article mentioned another customer, who was there, who witnessed Vanessa's transphobic tirade ...

... If it wasn't one of Luna's pals, who actually wasn't there at all.

Perhaps I should turn my cynicism down a bit?

I suppose he’s got to come up with something like the threat of legal action otherwise it’ll look like he was the one in the wrong.

Odd though, isn’t it, that for all this “shouting about trannies” and “hateful FB content” there’s not a witness or a screenshot to be had? If Vanessa had done those things I’d absolutely support her being investigated but the accusations seem a bit…convenient.

Luna is 'considering legal action'

Eyeing up a particularly flimsy-looking courthouse door?

Seen the GB News interview now. Unless Vanessa and her husband are particularly fluent actors/liars, Luna has been telling porkies to Vice.

Luna is lucky not to face charges of assault.

What’s on the floor behind Luna?

Perhaps Luna identifies as taking legal action?

Luna’s dignity?

Looks like packets of something.

Maybe little packets of honesty that have been dropped and ignored ?

What?

Are the police not charging him? That's shocking.

If only he'd upset some mad misogynist on the internets instead of assaulting a customer in actual real life, he'd be getting his door panned in, like Caroline F.

*her/they, not "him" obviously

CCTV footage, please, Mr Starbucks. You can blank out the faces of innocent customers.

Luna has certainly committed one untruth in the "bid to set the record straight" when Luna said the customer wouldn't accept that she couldn't pay by cash - Vanessa had already paid, otherwise the dispute about the refund wouldn't have arisen. If she's paid, then she's accepted the policy. At worst Vanessa may have said it was a stupid policy - I've done the same myself, but obviously it's not the staff to blame, but that doesn't mean that people don't comment on it.

I was also wondering what was on the floor behind Luna - wondered if it was Vanessa's order, that Luna refused to supply despite it being paid for. May not be, of course. Maybe Luna regularly throws stuff around.

yeah it's a thing these days that if you don't accept cash, you're going to get comments. anything from mild disappointment to some spittle-flecked rant about Big Banks and the New World Order (worst band name ever). If you work in customer service, that's how it is. Not great, obviously, but it's your job and you should be able to deflect some random customer's attention off the topic, and get the transaction closed and move on with your day.

Big Banks and the New World Order (worst band name ever)

😂

Vanessa said Luna had thrown Vanessa's bag in the air, prior to the filming. Those counters are so cluttered that might explain why all that stuff was on the floor.

Are the police not charging him? That's shocking.

Does anyone know if Vanessa or her husband have made a complaint to the Police? If not, they won't be bothering to see Luna.

If a complaint has been made and they haven't troubled themselves, that's a different kettle of fish.

The truth is straightforward, linear.

Luna's story...isn't.

Unhinged never gives a straight-lined story, unhinged will make up what they want to suit their narrative then scream "BIGOT! TRANSPHOBE!" when they get odd looks for being caught out blatantly lying about...well....everything.

The Starbucks manager has vitiligo? And the treatment causes rages?

No I meant that as a portmanteau of "trans" and "moid", and figurative with "roid rage".

What's a moid?

Male humanoid.

Oh - good point.

Personally I'd both press criminal charges with the police and sue the *rse off him in civil court for assaulting me and damaging my property, but I appreciate that some people might just be sick of the whole carry on.

I think if hingwie's legal action becomes more real than a fevered brainfart then they will quickly encounter difficulties in the reality-interface department. because there story stands up about as much as hammered shit and smells just as bad

That, as they say, is a 'them problem'.
