Video of the men, who were waiting for a friend, being dragged out in handcuffs sparked protests and forced the Starbucks chief executive to apologise.

Okay, you’re right. If they did in fact have an anti-loitering policy then I can see how what she did was warranted.

I’d be curious if she asked other people to leave who are also waiting for their friends too come by.

I also realized that whenever we eat at Shari’s or Applebee’s we sit at the tables and wait for friends, and are always free to use their restrooms whilst we wait for friends to show up.
