Starbucks coffee shop managers will have trainings for combating "unconscious bias," its CEO said Monday, after police arrested two black men at a Philadelphia branch of the chain.
"I'll say the circumstances surrounding the incident and the outcome at our store on Thursday were reprehensible," Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson told ABC News on Monday.
Johnson added that the incident called for "more training that we're going to do with our store managers, not only around the guidelines but training around unconscious bias."
Witnesses posted a video to Twitter on Thursday of two black men escorted out of a Philadelphia Starbucks in handcuffs.
The police were called because these men hadnt ordered anything. They were waiting for a friend to show up, who did as they were taken out in handcuffs for doing nothing," according to Melissa DePino, who posted the video.
Controversy quickly arose as people accused Starbucks of racial discrimination and #BoycottStarbucks started trending on Twitter.
Starbucks declined to press trespassing charges, and its CEO issued an apology on Saturday. "Starbucks stands firmly against discrimination or racial profiling," the CEO said in a statement. "I hope to meet personally with the two men who were arrested to offer a face-to-face apology."

Don’t have a problem with that. Has a better taste to me. Better price point. Tully’s isn’t bad either.
Oh, right. They didn't want coffee.
Don't think the lawyers want free coffee either.
The number one coffee for snowflakes.
My employees enforced the policy. See how biased they are? ——Starbucks management.
Sadly, “Seattle’s Best” is actually owned by Starbucks. Just a marketing division that operates out of $tarbux HQ....
If you look up “metrosexual” in the dictionary, you see a photo of the pathetic Starbuck’s CEO. He was pleading for forgiveness from these vagrants. Disgusting.
I'm not sure you've picked the best grievance group for benefit, although black is a worthy choice. For example, illegal immigrant gets you out of traffic violations including driving while uninsured or unlicensed, and gives your kids in-state tuition, while black does not. It also seems to confer the ability to shift identities freely, because the authorities choose not to check. Transgender gives you a wider range of bathrooms to choose from, and if you are biologically (i.e., XY) male, the ability to enter female only sports contests with a huge advantage.
You have to decide what type of civil benefits upgrade mean the most to you in upgrading from the white citizen classification.
Starbucks coffee shop managers will have...
dozens of homeless people hanging out at their shops all day
bathing in the sink of the bathroom and peeing on the floor and stealing packets of sugar etc.
“unconscious bias” - and when that doesn’t stop the random accidental misjudgment of all too human workers, we’ll go to “subterranean bias”.....
Training:
Whites don’t sue or demonstrate in the streets. Jesse Jackson won’t picket for Whites. No one cares if you kick Whites out.
There will be no headlines about two Whites kicked out of Starbucks.
Any questions?
The truth will come out and the CEO a## will be applauded anyway for his white privilege
I am not commenting on this case but will say anybody who lives in these city cesspools knows the loser loiterers, panhandlers and homeless constantly frequent establishments. They buy nothing, foul the bathrooms and many are mentally ill. It’s a quality of life issue when one spends money and those around are doing nothing but lurking, stinking and are just plain creepy.
As if it were not already America’s worst dead-end job.
Starbux locations will be more dangerous because of this training.
Who amongst us even goes to starbucks? I find their coffee acidic and distasteful.
JoMa
Blacks ‘outraged’ over the arrest of coffee blacks,
fully support the breakin of covfefe Trump’s lawyer’s home.
Liberal tribal hypocrites.
And anyone silly enough to remain deserves every bit of it.
Next time you're in a public venue of any size, note how many in the crowd are practically oblivious to anything except their damned gadget.
Literally (i)Pod People.
