Good thing to do. Gypsies are professional piock pockets.

He was sitting outside, eating food purchased at Starbucks. They should have left him alone.

Not very woke of you assuming gender. Lots of women have full beards and I have yet to be convinced a single boobless hairy faced coffee server with a nose ring at starbucks is actually male.

I will report to re-education camp! Don’t report me please. Maybe if I turn myself in, they’ll go easy on me.

The guy is sitting outdoors. Why would a barista get involved in it at all? Was he the manager?

a “barista” is female. The person in the video is a “baristo”.

And now baristo may need a barrister.

Really IDK the law but I couldn’t resist the wordplay.

the starbucks guy is not ejecting the homeless guy... he bought him lunch... the cops are trying to get rid of him.

I get it. He didn’t buy the food; someone else did. But he wanted to eat it in the restaurant. Like I say, if he was disgusting and a deterrent to other customers, I’d either boot him or get him out of the public eye.

obviously not bothering anyone..........

Obviously? I'm not sure about that. And it's pretty clear he WAS bothering the server.

Why do you have a problem with that?

I have a problem with the Gestapo telling me who I can and cannot serve in my own establishment. That's MY decision, not the government's, not the police's, not some bystander's, and not the patron's. My house, my rules. Do you have a problem with that?

He's sitting outside on the Starbucks patio. It's the establishment's property.

Frankly, I think the server made too big a deal of it. He apparently was NOT bothering any of the existing customers (though how many he scared off is anyone's guess).

But the point is, the owners of the establishment, and their agents, should be free to deny service -- including a place to eat as well as the food itself -- to anyone based on nothing more than whim.

If the establishment gets a reputation for being a rude, assholish place, then presumably its business will suffer. Similarly if it gets a rep for being a haven for scuzbuckets.

Being a franchise, I'm not sure the agents and owners have as much freedom, depending on the corporate policy.

Well, unless they do things differently in Britain, he’s probably out of a job at Starbuck’s. Because didn’t they have some huge employee retraining over incidents like this about nine months ago?

Basically, the homeless can/could pretty much day camp there and sip water as long they didn’t bother anyone.

I imagine there’s more to the story that underlies the barista’s reason for wanting the guy out, but this story paints him as the undisputed bad-guy.

Clearly gypsies are not among France’s protected groups.

Uh ... if he wasn’t bothering him, why did the server insist he leave? Use your head.
