World wide news, Starbucks, a well-known coffee chain in the United States, has been in trouble recently. After police arrested two black men in a Starbucks chain last month and sparked a wave of racism in the U.S., Starbucks was recently revealed to have hidden cameras in the toilets of one of its stores.
A hidden camera was found in the bathroom of a Starbucks chain store in afalet, Georgia, US, Newsweek reported. Afalet's public security department confirmed on May 3 that local police immediately launched an investigation after receiving a report from a Starbucks employee that a hidden camera was found in the bathroom. A local police spokesman said it was not clear how long the camera had been installed in the toilet and how many people were photographed.
Reported that a female employee entered the bathroom cubicle in the store, when she sat on the toilet, she suddenly found a camera directly aimed at her, the employee immediately informed the store manager, and called the police.
This is not the first time Starbucks has seen such an event. In April, a woman also found a hidden camera in a baby changing room in a Starbucks bathroom, facing the toilet.
Police spokesman Howard Miller reminded the public to check the surrounding environment, especially the more hidden places, when using the toilet in public places. But the police also reluctantly said that this kind of situation has happened frequently recently, which is overwhelming. The police are also increasing their efforts to prevent and combat such incidents.
According to earlier media reports, last month, two black men in the United States didn't order to use the bathroom when they were waiting for friends at Starbucks. The shop assistant refused them and asked them to leave. The two men refused to leave. Then the shop assistant called the police and the two men were taken away by the police. The incident has caused quite a stir in the United States, where clerks and police officers have also been criticized for being racially biased. Starbucks announced Tuesday that it has reached a settlement with two men, each of whom has received $1 in compensation. Starbucks will also fund them to go to university.
