A group of more than 50 Republicans flooded a North Carolina Starbucks location days after a barista was accused of mocking a woman for wearing a pro-Trump shirt.

The crowd gathered at 2pm on Saturday at the Starbucks located in the Dilworth section of Charlotte, the Charlotte Observer reported.

They were wearing Trump-themed shirts and carried signs into the coffee chain to stage what turned out to be a peaceful sit-in.

The visitors then began ordering cups of coffee and using the names of members of the president's cabinet, including Mike Pence and Jeff Sessions.

A Republican official in Mecklenburg County said the goal of the sit-in was to highlight the need for business establishments to respect customers with competing political viewpoints

'I gave them the name Trump and... they were very gracious about it,' Shellie Anderson told Fox 46.

'We just wanted to reverse the little negativity... It's really good to come together and take something negative and just come in here and be respectful.'

A Republican official in Mecklenburg County said the goal of the sit-in was to highlight the need for business establishments to respect customers with competing political viewpoints.

'We wanted the staff to see that Trump supporters are just as human as anyone else,' said James Tatro, a board member with MeckGOP.

On June 14, Kayla Hart walked in to the same Starbucks location wearing a t-shirt in support of Trump. She says that the cashier at the restaurant laughed in her face when she first walked in

After ordering an iced tea, she received a cup with a political message which read 'BUILD A WALL' printed on the label that usually bears the customer's name

'We live in a diverse city. It's unacceptable in a modern society to make a customer feel uncomfortable, whether it's a liberal business mistreating a conservative customer or a conservative business mistreating a liberal customer.'

She says that the cashier at the restaurant laughed in her face when she first walked in.

After ordering an iced tea, she received a cup with a political message which read 'BUILD A WALL' printed on the label that usually bears the customer's name.

'Build a wall' is in reference to a common theme of Trump's campaign, during which he promised to construct a wall along the US-Mexico border to keep undocumented migrants from entering the country.

Hart said that when she looked at her cup and noticed what it said, the other baristas in the restaurant broke out in laughter.

'I don't know what politics has to do with getting a cup of coffee,' Hart said. 'I just walked out because everyone was staring.'

'I just found it really sad that I can't wear a t-shirt with our president without being made fun of,' Hart told Fox 46.

Hart immediately emailed Starbucks customer service. Starbucks released a statement regarding the event.

Starbucks released a statement, which read: 'We failed to meet this customer's expectations of us, and we have apologized and are working directly with her to make it right.

'We have spoken with our store partners about this situation and are using this as a coaching opportunity for the future.'

'I just want it to be put out there so people know this is what's occurring,' Hart added.

'I don't think it's right you should be humiliated for wearing a t-shirt with your opinion on it.'

Tatro said the company's apology was acceptable, though he added that what happened to Hart was 'terrible.'

'I think it not only hurt her feelings, but discouraged her from being involved in political process,' he said.

'Many Trump supporters are afraid to wear Trump gear for that reason... It's a shame that some people only feel comfortable when it's group of 40 people or so.'
