Apparently the two males entered the Starbucks, waiting for a third party. They were there for an extended period of time, used the restroom etc. The Manager on Duty asked them to make a purchase or to exit the premises, they refused to do either. She then apparently made a 2nd request and they refused again. She then contacted Philadelphia PD through the 911 system and responding officers arrived, and themselves asked the individuals to leave, they refused and were arrested for trespassing. It’s a pretty cut and dry deal.

Thanks for the good summary. Side note, Imagine if they were gun owners bought food and told to leave and they didn’t....they’d be in jail, end of story.

If you haven’t bought anything then you’re not a customer and not entitled to use the bathroom.

However, It pays to be discreet when you invoke that. If they are clean cut well clothed then who cares? But if they look like a bunch of taggers, all tatted up and pant hanging below the butt cheeks you might figure them for some mischief.

My sister had an internet cafe coffee, Pastries books, magazines and free WIFI and had problems with squatters. I would head down there on the worst days and start blocking their MAC address at the router level. Not only did it discourage them to leave, once entered they’re permanently blocked until I unblock them, so they stop coming back.

My brother conducted business out of a Starbucks. $25 donated to the employee tip jar was good enough to get buy with all day wifi and perhaps 2 or 3 cups of coffee.

Wow I thought I was reading a CNN script since it left out the part of the two males being black.

So now, Starbucks is going to close all of its facilities for a day or so and give all of its 100+ thousand employees "inclusion" training. All because two arrogant blacks did not want to pay for a cup of coffee and were waiting on the "third" party to get there to pick up the tab.

Pretty soon Starbucks will only have see through coffee so as not to offend someone.

Yeah but that’s only the first half of the story...

Then they discovered the men in question were black, and so the manager was fired and the men contacted a lawyer because their rights were violated.

The end.

Not according to my two black co-workers, who are convinced beyond any doubt this was raciss!
