Video of the incident shows Starbucks employees working and seemingly unfazed by the glue-in protest."My friends at PETA and I are calling on Starbucks to stop punishing kind and environmentally conscious customers for choosing plant milks," James said. "We all have a stake in the life-and-death matter of the climate catastrophe, and Starbucks should do its part by ending its vegan upcharge."Many critics note that Starbucks doesn't charge for vegan milk in other countries.About 16 minutes into the protest, police arrived.
A police officer appeared to be flabbergasted after being told James and another man glued their hands to the counter. Most the supporters soon left the coffee shop upon police suggestion, but James and another man continued to be glued to the counter.
The men eventually unglued themselves — while the store was temporarily closed — after being threatened with arrest. Starbucks' up-charging for vegan milk has caught the attention of others, as well.
