Of course it was
Bet a slip and fall lawyer set it up....Starbucks should have just said the policy applies to everyone....Holly should find a lawyer...
Down where I live they arrested a lawyer for setting up sip and falls at WalMart and Public Markets
I thought the same. I’ve been to Starbucks many times waiting for someone...And I’ve just walked into the restroom without asking. Why would you ask to use the restroom?
Has Seth Rich's murderer been found YET?
Blockbusting?
My aunt told me back in the day one of my ancestor/relatives would go around with one particular black guy and they would sit down in the restaurants in town to see if anybody tried to refuse them service. Course, they were payin’ customers.
Holly is the one who was treated unjustly. She was fired and had her life ruined. Various non-White websites are threatening her. She deserves an apology plus 3-4 million dollars in reparations from the non-White websites and newspapers.
I thought about it, and I realized that it wasn’t so long ago that such minor travesties and often much, much worse were things black people lived through every day. ...

No need for such an apologetic beginning of an otherwise thoughtful article. I don’t recall whites ever having a right to loiter without paying, especially when floor space was small, as it is in a typical Starbucks.
The incident at the golf course yesterday seems like a set-up as well. The “reporter” never did get around to telling us just how long it took the four women to play the first hole.
I was refused service at a Denny’s one time.
BTW, I’m white.
LIke ordering wedding photos/cake for a gay wedding
Does anyone know how much time had elapsed between when the two “gentlemen” sat down and their “friend” appeared.
My son and daughter in law, now in their 30’s, used to play a game in their early 20’s called, “We’re not leaving.”
They would sit in a fairly crowded bar and not order anything and see how long it would take to get kicked out. Naturally, they were already pretty plastered by the time they arrived.
Don’t make it something it isn’t. Take two victims with paper-thin skin, add one overreacting manager, stir in the race card, and voila’. No need for conspiracy.
1st: The author calls this a "minor travesty," yet explains in considerable detail how the Manager - and the Police - made repeated attempts to amicably resolve the situation, so I think that it's incorrect to refer to this as even only a "minor" travesty, or if it was a travesty, then one perpetrated by the two Black gentlemen themselves.
2nd: There are not "millions of minorities" in the U.S. (unless you subdivide and sub-subdivide groups, e.g.: "bisexual Jewish-Alaskan-Indian-Hispanics").

The supposed time line of the events don’t show a long period of time during the event.

• 4:35 p.m. - Nelson and Robinson arrive at the Starbucks 10 minutes early for
a business meeting. Nelson immediately asks to use the restroom but is told its
only for paying customers. He sits down with Robinson and the manager comes
over to ask if they want anything, they explain they’re fine and are just waiting
for their friend.
• 4:37 p.m. - Police are called.
•4:41 p.m. - Officers arrive.
Why would he be involved in a race-baiting scam, when he's been praised as a young leader in Jewish philanthropy?
The Jack Goldenberg Young Leadership Award was presented to Andrew Yaffe. Yaffe is the founder and president of AY Industries, a Philadelphia-based real estate development, investment and management firm. He is an active member of the Jewish Federation’s real estate affinity group and NextGen’s Ben Gurion Society. In the spring of 2017, Yaffe chaired the Inaugural Young Friends Fundraiser for Birthright Israel in partnership with the Jewish Federation.Yaffe credited his connection to Jewish philanthropy to his upbringing: His grandparents were founding members of the Greater North East Jewish Congregation and active volunteers at what was then Klein JCC, often bringing Yaffe with them.
Could it be that Yaffe really was there to meet two African--Americans trying to get a break in the Philadelphia real estate market?

Chain restaurants don’t operate the same in every city. They adapt to where the store is located. A starbucks in a quiet little town will not be like one in a crime ridden inner city. Just look at some youtubes of fast food restaurants in Detroit. Bulletproof glass seperating workers and customers.
Of course. Two punks decided to become millionaires, so they went to Starbucks, loitered, waited for someone to ask them to buy something or to leave, they didn’t do either, and then, following the handbook, were eventually lead out the door by cops. Now all they gotta’ do is sue Starbucks for racism, profiling, etc.
And the poor employee (soon to be wealthy) followed the book, got the punks thrown out, and then got herself fired.
Now, Starbucks gets it up their own butts from BOTH sides. I’m am thrilled that such a pathetic, overpriced, snobby company is going to have to make millionaires out of both sides. Love it.
Starbucks is nowhere near as strong as it’s coffee ,LOL, weak as water
