Starbucks has earned the image of linguini-spined cravenness.
Another non-issue promoted by the low IQ crowd to shield any negative claims against the hoodrats.
STARBUCKS is so Seattle White and they even market black coffee.
Deserve all the bad press they can get.
Just breaks my heart/s I have 2 or them in my town & I have never walked through the door.
The problem wasn’t that they wanted the two non-paying customers to leave - it was that they did not back up their employee when he/she asked them to leave. And they did not do as they were asked to do. Even when the police got there! The employee was well within his/her right to ask them to leave - as long as company policy was being followed. And any company that does not allow employees to request that someone leave is idiotic and feckless.
I have never seen such a minor story get such major coverage. Much ado about nothing.
No wonder many people,including me,avoid news coverage as much as possible.

On Starbucks and “Racism”
Does a great job spelling this out.

He/she/it that lives by political correctness, dies by political correctness.
It breaks my heart to see what is happening to Starbucks over this incident. I think I’ll write “Can’t we all just get along” on my next Sam Adams Lager.......LMAO !
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of racists.
Shadenfreude.
They must have used Cursive when they wrote “Black Dudes” on their Coffee Cups.
This is such a snowflake dramatic over reaction.
Back in the day, they would have fired the idiots, given the guys a couple grand, and they moved on. Easy peasy.
Ya think the AP has considered the likelihood that this was all a setup?
First sign that they were ginning up an ‘incident’:
When asked to leave, they refused rather than taking the problem public or to corporate management.
Second sign:
When the police asked them to leave, they refused which resulted in their arrests.
Mission accomplished.
No thank you Starbucks! I don't want to talk about race. I just want a cup of hot, strong, black coffee!
I work in NYC and it seemed there was a Starbucks on every block but another rapidly growing coffee chain (at least in NYC) caught my eye. It's called Gregorys Coffee and I'm very impressed with the quality of their coffee. I don't know the politics of this company or its founder and I don't care to know. Whatever their politics are, they keep it to themselves. But their stores have that same upscale vibe of Starbucks.
So I will be content to go there until Black Rifle Coffee starts opening outlets in NYC (and they said they would on the Hannity show not too long ago). Imagine having both Black Rifle Coffee AND Chick-Fil-A in Manhattan! Can't wait.
I bet if Starbucks didn’t cave in to politically correctness their business would not be affected. I’ve never been in a Starbucks where there were “race of professional victims” as customers as the customers were of any race but.
The arrest of two freeloaders, rather.
My guess is that it was a planned and staged event but with the assistance of the MSM pimps and whores it went viral. But you will notice how the police in the Progressive Ghetto escaped unharmed.
