Yes, I agree that this was handled badly (and the fact that the race of the employee wasn’t mentioned leads me to think he or she may have been black as well), but it’s not a racial issue.
Unlike most people here, I actually like Starbucks coffee and I like some of their snacks (especially the egg bites!). So I patronize them fairly often, and I have seen white people told that they can’t use the bathroom or can’t sit at a table forever without buying something. If the store didn’t have that policy, every “homeless” person in town would be camped out in their store or taking a bath in the sink.
I did not say nor do I believe it was handled badly. That is the old media narrative and it is not reality. I don’t buy from Starbucks because they are run by libturds, they promote the homo agenda and other left wing causes. This is a code I live by and I don’t give a rip how great some confection is, how cheap it is, or how great any product is if their profits support the left, period.
The times I've been to Starbucks they usually have numerous college age hippies sitting around and taking up all the seats and it appears that they bought one small coffee and stayed 4 hours for the free wifi.
Ah-ha! I think I see what happened. Lack of seating. They tolerated the non-paying people at first but when it got to the point that paying customers could no longer find a seat they asked the non-payers to leave, who got belligerent, and so the employee called the cops, and when the cops got there they were belligerent with the cops, and so the cops arrested them.
But they don't seem to have this problem at McDonald's. I've had more than one business meeting at McDonald's without buying anything, but McDonald's has way more seating.
