Is this the purpose of this to teach blacks not to be arrogant, entitled, and actually do stuff like buy something before they use the services of any given Starbucks?

I didn’t think so.

Like blacks are 12% of the population and cause 50% of all murders?

Since I avoid the place and despise coffee, no loss for me.

So now I can go sit in a Starbucks for days, use the head, and never buy anything?

Along with hundreds of my friends?

I’m not familiar with the intricacies of trespassing laws but I suspect business can toss out persons for trespass if they just come in and hang out.

When did loitering and trespassing become racist?

God, I wish I went to Starbucks. So I could never go there again.

There is a SB in my office lobby. The stench of burned coffee is horrible at times.

May as well leave them closed. After all, the next left-wing troublemakers will result in more of this nonsense hitting the media. The left has to drink its own as well as eat them.

Really? Because lecturing people on race worked really well for them in the past. /s

I hope the Starbucks Corp will become sensitive to names on the cups. No, not Trayvon or Latisha, but Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan.

Or we can simply refuse to walk into their stores forever.
