MAGA Karen Turns Starbucks Into Culture War Circus - Rebel HQ

[TexasTowelie]

A Starbucks customer went viral for unleashing a full-blown meltdown after a barista refused to shout out the name “Charlie Kirk” when her drink was ready. The MAGA Karen filmed herself berating workers over a made-up culture war grievance — and host Richard Ojeda breaks down how this bizarre moment reveals the entitlement, fragility, and performative outrage driving today’s right wing.

1. A privately owned business is not a public space. It is private property.

`The owner, and the employees as his or her agents have the right to refuse service to anyone. There are three kinds of people who come to a business: intiviees (usually someone with an appointment - but certainly people who are already associated with the business through at least one prior transaction), licensees (anyone who comes to the business and may or may not make a business transaction, but who does not shoplift or otherwise behave in such a way as to interfere with the business), and trespassers (anyone who comes to the premises and behaves in such a way as to interfere with the business and with its rules.) Depending on state or municipal law trespassing may be a tort or it may be a misdemeanor . It would not be a felony in itself. But anyone who committed a felony there would definitely be a trespasser. "Karen" here is not a felon - but she is a trespasser.
