Pictured: White Starbucks manager, 31, who Caused a National Outcry after Calling Police on [Trunc]
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | April 17, 2017 | Hannah Parry

The Starbucks manager who called the police on two black customers for trespassing previously branded customers who didn't speak English 'rude'.

Holly Hylton managed the Center City Philadelphia store for a year and 'mutually parted ways' with the coffee chain after sparking a race row.

The 31-year-old asked the pair to leave after refusing to let them use the bathroom without buying anything, and called 911 when they stayed.

Video of the men, who were waiting for a friend, being dragged out in handcuffs sparked protests and forced the Starbucks chief executive to apologise.

Ms Hylton, a career hospitality manager, previously worked at Chipotle in 2009 and Smashburger in 2013, according to her social media.

Oh, it’s a woman! Well, that has gone unmentioned up to now.

Yep. Three different kinds of pre-printed signs in everybody’s hands two hours later.

I will allow of course that these pre-printed signs might already have been printed and were sitting in some local leftist NGO “office” somewhere, but that would do more to prove my point that than disprove it.

From everything I’ve read, they refused to leave even after the cops showed up.

Experience seems to be that whenever you have a situation such as this, where somebody gets arrested, it's for being belligerent toward the cops.

She didn’t “cause” an national outcry. That is not the meaning of the word “cause.” Words have meaning. Headline writers are too stupid to know the meanings.

Her innocent actions were used as the excuse for the national bull$hit.

Just refusing to leave when asked, especially by the cops, is sufficient cause for a trespassing charge.

This is the real evil of social media - creating a virtual mob.

this story has been going for 3 days. No detail, no background, no interviews, no content - just the racial narrative and immediate corporate apology

Only after 3 days do we hear anything, even if very incomplete, about the manager or corporate policy.

I've never sat in a restaurant without ordering something.

Same here. If I'm going to take one of their tables, I will at least get a drink. If there is a waiter/waitress, I'll tip.

I despise Starbucks. Never ever will go into one. Glad to see them having to swallow some of the same medicine that we have had forced down our throats for years. I think that there should be a nationwide protest , one at every Starbucks in the United States.

Yeah, the police need to look up their rap sheet and continue to keep their eyes peeled for them.

And then apologize to the former manager.

Starbucks will never do it.

I’d like to hear her side of the story, too. Were they homeless? Were they belligerent? Were they bathing in the bathroom, as many homeless here in LA do. Was BLM just ready with their signs and these guys were part of the protest? Why does Starbucks even do business in the Inner City? Where was the beefy Starbucks guy to help this manager? Why did the CEO simper and whine? Why are BLM activists allowed inside the store?

Now that her face is out there, the Leftists will pile on with death threats, etc. as usual.

Again: *What is HER side of the story*?! The Left never waits to find out... the Scarlet Letter (R for Racist) is already smeared across her forehead.

Guys hanging around without buying anything are guys who could easily be scoping out the place in order to come back later and rob it.

So could the people who are actually buying and drinking coffee.

Drudge reporting that 8,000 Starbucks stores will be closed (not sure which day) for "Racial Sensitivity Training".

*BARF*

For anyone who hasn't seen them, the pics at the DM article are worth thousands of words.

Typical race pimps and rent-a-cretins with their professionally printed 'impromptu' protest signs, many of whom are engaging in goading behavior for which they should have been arrested.

Damned shame that any part of this country had to be semi-tropical to begin with.

Yeah but, usually if you spend a lot of time drinking coffee at a Starbucks you become a regular and you would be upset if anything happened to your Starbucks. And you would be upset if it got robbed.
