Starbucks faces backlash over ban on Pride decorations in Columbus store.

A TikTok video posted by Starbucks Workers United showing a customer's encounter with a district manager over taking down a Pride flag at a Columbus location has gone viral. The district manager appears to have removed a Pride flag hung on store premises by someone not affiliated with the company. Starbucks employees at the West Fifth Avenue location were told that the decision to remove Pride flags was made at the corporate level. Starbucks Workers United listed a number of locations around the country at which Pride flags have allegedly been removed, and said that Starbucks is targeting unionized locations.
