NEW: Starbucks *fires* heroic barista who subdued and protected a co-worker from robbers after getting pistol-whipped in the head.
I can't emphasis this enough: Starbucks is trash.
20-year old Michael Harrison, who was working through paramedic school, was fired after he fought off two criminals who tried robbing the store.
The incident happened at a downtown Starbucks in St. Louis.
The men rushed into the store with guns and told everyone to get on the floor. Harrison was instructed to open the cash register which he couldn't because he didn't have credentials.
As the men went through Harrison's pockets, he was pistol-whipped in the head.
A co-worker believed the gun was fake so he started fighting off the robbers. Harrison jumped into action to help him.
Harrison was able to subdue Joshua Noe who was later arrested. The police officers thanked Harrison and his co-worker for their bravery.
The other assailant, Marquise Porter-Doyle, was arrested nearby.
Harrison was praised by local media but Starbucks was not thankful for his actions.
They were then placed on paid leave for two weeks. After the two weeks was up, Harrison and his co-worker were fired for "violating company policy."
"In situations like this, our training and protocols guide our partners to comply and de-escalate, not just for their safety but for the safety of all in the store," Starbucks said.
"That job was helping me pay for college," Harrison said. "I just don’t understand it. I thought it was the right thing to do."
This man should have gotten a raise. Instead, he was fired.
Insane.
@CFBTalkDaily Personally, I love seeing Dabo coaching with passion and heart. He cares about his players. I assume this remark is made by someone who got beat by Clemson. Keep on Coaching Dabo!
@WhitMerrifield I sure hope some rumors are true, that you may be the Red Sox second baseman soon. That would be awesome for my Bosox. I hope it works best for you too Son!
@MagicJohnson Please do your “Magic” and get Michael and Barkley back on speaking terms. Life is too short for it to continue any longer. I’m a 67 year old former HS coach who just stepped down due to a heart attack. I have a new view on life, they need your help Magic.
