Texas Starbucks customer fumes over ‘illegal' joke that barista wrote on her cup: ‘It's offensive'
A Texas Starbucks customer claims she and her culture were the target of an 'offensive' joke written on the lid of her drink by one of the store's employees. Blanca Lopez, who is Hispanic, ordered a horchata latte during a trip with her two daughters to the Starbucks inside the Irving, Texas Target store on June 23, CBS Texas reported. One of Lopez's daughters noticed their mother's cup had a message scribbled in black marker across the clear lid, an abnormality for a company known for writing customer names on the side of its products. 'What do you call a sick eagle?' the cup asked, according to a photo obtained by the outlet. 'Illegal,' the riddle answered. 7 Blanca Lopez stands outside the Irving, Texas Target where she was handed the offensive joke at the Starbucks location inside the store on June 23, 2025. CBS TEXAS/YouTube Lopez was left in shock by the joke written on her order. 'It's basically saying that we are sick, illegal individuals that do not belong in this country,' she told the outlet. Lopez recalled her confusion when she first saw the message, unsure if the note was a light-hearted joke or an attack on her identity. 'When I read it, I'm like, OK. Was I supposed to laugh or what do I need to do?' she told the outlet. 7 'What do you call a sick eagle?' the cup asked. 'Illegal.'

Why did she write this?' she added. 'For me, like, it's offensive.' Lopez said the joke hit close to home as she had friends and relatives deported because they were in the country illegally. In January, 84 illegal immigrants were arrested during an ICE raid in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, according to Fox 4. The outraged customer reported the joke to the store's manager, who told her there would be a team meeting to ensure it didn't happen again, CBS Texas reported. 7 Lopez recalled her confusion when she first saw the message, unsure if the note was a light-hearted joke or an attack at her identity.

However, he still walked into the Target, livestreaming for his Facebook followers, in search of the Starbucks, but was stopped by a store employee who told him to leave the building because he was recording inside. 'It's not easy to organize our community to raise their voice, I understand that protesting is already very difficult but acting is quite simple. Even Starbucks and Target have responded to our insistence to clarify their position on the offensive 'ILLEGAL' advertisement,' Quintanilla wrote. 'Let's suspend our protest in forgiveness and let's Protest in Silence!' The Post has reached out to Starbucks and Target. Quintanilla defended the illegal immigrants living in his community while outside the store. 'It's not just inappropriate, it's disturbing,' he told CBS Texas. 'Especially right now, when the narrative being thrown out in mass media is if you're illegal, you're a criminal, and if you're a criminal, you're illegal.'
