Years ago, there was a young Mexican man (Juan Carlos) that worked with us. He was trying his hardest to do things right-even had a green card. And he was learning English through practical usage and self-study.
One day, we go into a convenience store. He's looking around enough to where the clerk is thinking maybe he's a shoplifter. The clerk asks Juan Carlos if he needs some help. Juan C. says in his best broken English that he wanted penis.
The clerk's reaction was priceless. He said "sorry, I didn't get that". J.C. thought the clerk was hard-of-hearing and repeated he wanted some penis, just a bit louder.
I explained to the clerk he was looking for
peanuts, and not a date.

Is beaner even a thing these days? Haven't heard that word in a long time. Like decades. Maybe the barista hadn't heard of it either.

Some folks don't know the negative connotation "beaner". There are folks that truly don't intend to be discourteous in any way, it's just how things work out. Was there malicious intent? I don't know...wasn't there. Just an FYI: my wife and daughter are both Hispanic and neither knew "beaner" was a bad word. Guess they didn't get the memo on being offended
It would be nice to know the race of the offensive order taker. Also, is there video evidence of the "barista" writing it on there vs the offended party doing it himself? Video of the incident and not just some story after the fact would be nice. So many possibilities of what actually happened. This could be as innocent as a poorly said name misinterpreted by someone, to something more heinous like Peter and his friend trying to get a paycheck. Either way, don't affect my life, so I'll just sit back and watch the show.
Opus Dei, I've had many instances like that with my father in law. Can be quite funny sometimes....others, just embarrassing!

I'm guessing most people, in going about their daily lives, don't think about how social media would react to how they do their jobs. I know I work with people who should be particularly attuned to that, and even they aren't.
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

There was Chong’s song where he repeats “Beaners” over and over again but it’s not of artistic quality enough to post
Cheech’s lyrics are just comedy gold.

egregoreA mishearing or mistranslation or other misunderstanding could have happened. There was a story, I don't remember where, about a Starbucks (could have been another coffee house, but I remember coffee) where a guy named Marc gave his name and added, "That's Marc, with a C." His order, when he received it, read "Cark."

Okay, that's downright funny. I literally was crying.

We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly.

Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Yep. To all those here asking all kinds of questions about the Hipsterbuck's employee and his/her intent, I say 'Who cares'. Starbuck's painted a target on themselves with their ridiculous behavior, and the "chickens are coming home to roost".
Just sit back and enjoy their well earned turmoil and pain.
