The Starbucks employee who made the 911 call that led to the arrest of two black men at a Philadelphia location, sparking furious charges of racism and calls to protest and boycott, is no longer with the company.
The company’s president and CEO didn’t discuss what actions employees involved might face during a Monday morning appearance on “Good Morning America.”
“It’s easy for me to point blame to one person in this incident. My responsibility is to look more broadly, just to ensure this never happens again,” Kevin Johnson said. “I’ve been very focused on understanding what guidelines and what training ever let this happen. What happened was wrong, and we will fix it.”
Within hours of his appearance, Philly.com reported that the employee involved had parted ways with the company as the result of a “mutual” decision.

Time for black men to open carry into Starbucks
At least the ex-employee is still alive.
Perhaps a no loitering sign would be needed!
Well, they don’t have to worry about me loitering in their crappy coffee joints!
leftards would rather be politically correct than protect their own property
Social media is an extremely destructive force in society
this is a perfect example
Get the fact-free narrative out there immediately, stir outrage, and let it all virally spread - let any facts or circumstances trickle in later.
When asked why they wouldn’t order anything, one of the black men said, “I don’t drink that burnt crap.”
Hey. If trespassing and loitering are good enough for “undocumented immigrants”, then by golly AAs should be allowed to loiter and trespass anyplace they like. Anything else is blatant racism. Apparently. So, how many folks moving to San Fran Nan’s digs? Finesteen? Moon beams place? How many homeless dwellings in LA will be in strisands back yard? Mare villagarosa? Yeah, didn’t think so.
wouldnt work. It’s like posting a GUN FREE ZONE sign at a high school
Well whats the story... did the 911 caller call for good reason, ie, were there words back and forth between the men and the server and he felt threatened and called 911... or was it a case of mistaken intentions. How can calling 911 be considered racist without the details of the story? c-mon man!
starbuckles has replaced the manager with an illegal mooslim tranney from Bangladesh.
THis is the biggest non scandal scandal I have ever seen...
Were they loitering? Seems like... Were they asked to leave? yes, did they refuse? yes, cops were called...
If the company has an anti loitering policy and they are enforcing it reasonably consistently, this is a non issue....
If they are not then there may be some truth to claims of racism, but at this point there is nothing to suggest that this location was not consistently enforcing their policy... and even if they were that’s still on STARBUCKS, not anyone else....
Pssst... I know where all the Black homeless guys can now go to stay warm during the day!
For now.
Only ones who did the right thing here are the ex-employee and the cops.
“starbuckles has replaced the manager with an illegal mooslim tranney from Bangladesh.”
Their “new name” is Shariabucks!
Now white people are coming out to say, 'no one ever asked me to leave a coffee shop for not buying something'.
Personally I suspect this was a set up.
The woman I saw who posted the video on her twitter page has a book out, 'My little world' (I believe that's the title) and she has a note on her bio that she has been 'angry since Nov. 8th'.
Find the connections between all the actors.
Try going into any restaurant and sitting down taking up a booth or table and refusing to make a purchase.
When I go into a coffee house and expect a friend, I place my order and then take it to a table to show good intent.
Most restaurants won’t seat you until a major portion of your party has already arrived.
Why should proprietors allow people to take up their tables and booths without making a purchase?
Since when do you have to post an anti-loitering policy?
Anyone with common sense knows you can’t simply waltz in and flop at a table or booth unless you’re going to make a purchase.
Why should other customers who have made a purchase have to stand, when these idiots are taking up a booth without making a purchase?
Common sense is so uncommon these days.
