Two Starbucks employees in St. Louis were fired after they fought back against two armed robbers who targeted their store. The incident, which took place in December 2023 near the Saint Louis University campus, resulted in the baristas losing their jobs just weeks after the confrontation. However, a newly released video obtained by FOX 2 News shows the chaotic scene that unfolded in Missouri and brings the employees back into the spotlight.
On that Sunday, two masked suspects reportedly entered the shop and demanded money. According to the New York Post, the store had been struggling with aggressive behavior from customers for months, with employees frequently facing threats and even having objects thrown at them. Per the report, Michael Harrison, a 20-year-old barista who was working the drive-thru that day, found himself in a terrifying position when the robbers entered.
