Starbucks fired a transgender woman after a video of her having a heated disagreement with a customer garnered more than 4 million views online.
The altercation occurred in Southampton, Hampshire, a town in the United Kingdom.
The 56-second video clip opens with a customer yelling at the barista, "Don’t ever call me transphobic! Ever! You do not know me!” The barista responded, "You’re calling me a man. You’re being transphobic, Karen, now get out.”
In the remainder of the video clip, the barista tells the woman to leave the Starbucks five times and repeatedly warns her that she is trespassing in the cafe. The worker then approaches the man filming the interaction and seems to push the camera out of the way.
