When you hire you follow guidelines laid down carefully. When you fire likewise. In some cases depending on which state you're in, you can indeed release someone without reason. California is ONE of those states. You leave yourself open to some shit if you do, but it's legal to a degree.

I don't know that Starbucks considers you an investor, just because you buy coffee there. However, let's go on the presumption that you are actually a shareholder in Starbucks. Then certainly you are aware of the fact that not all Starbucks are owned by Starbucks, so there is a huge fucking chance that all your little "corporate procedures" you are relying on would not even apply.
Starbucks, the corporation, is hardly going to be held liable over the comments made by the employee of a franchise owner.
