I've had many meetings where I've met someone at Starbucks. I order when I get there, usually for the person I'm meeting as well. If they're late, their coffee is cold.

Notice the proper use of they're, their, and there. All used in this post.

If they were any other race this would be. Non issue. You are told too leave, the cops show up and politely ask you too leave 3 times... what do you think is going too happen next? Hell I would have cuffed them after the 1st refusal too leave. When you are give a lawful order and refuse too obey it, you tend too get what is coming too you.

The hanging out in Starbucks not spending any money debate was already discussed in another thread months ago . A problem Starbucks is going to have is they let tons of people everyday use there restrooms and free internet . Starbucks set a precident that it's okay . What made these 2 a exception to that ? I'm not picking a side I'm just pointing out the two guys are going to get paid on this bases alone .

I have seen Starbucks kick people out and even call the cops on one. Then again the same Starbucks they let a homeless man stay there all day, every day.

I think it has more too do with your aditude then anything else.

Some Starbucks lock the restrooms, almost always where there is a large homeless population, or just the hood. In fact in San Fransisco, no one car use them, al shut down due to asshole city law stating if it is open to customers, then all restrooms must be open the everyone. thus there are NO restrooms open in SF. This includes all of the hig hend fashion stores. The homeless shit on floors, on bank steps, and piss openly in public in that shit hole city.

I agree but in this situation there is somebody down at starbucks counting how many people are not being told to leave and i bet that number is very high . Now statisticly add in racis and I bet Starbucks has a problem . Again I am not saying it's right I'm just talking

The world today is about social media set ups, fake news, micro aggressions and fake movements.

You think people would stop falling for these stories with only 1/2 the so called story released before passing judgment.

I’ve seen nothing official on the step by step account of what led up to the cops being called except some folks videoing themselves talking about it.

Its a “society shame” that the first person to explode social media with their version of a story becomes the “take the bait” version, and from there its off to the races with protest, movements and boycotts.

Even then Starbucks CEO fell on his sword.

Some serious CYA on Starbucks part.

Training will consist of this;

When someone in the store is disturbing, trespassing, taking up tables when not a customer/ refusing to leave after asked, do the following:

Whites - ask to leave, call cops, have arrested

Asians - ask to leave, call cops, have arrested.

Hispanics - ask to leave, call cops have arrested.

Blacks, transgender, students of the liberal arts, homeless - don’t do anything, let them do whatever they want.

God forbid people are held accountable for their actions.

LOL

Turns out their actions were intentional, looking for a paycheck.

publicity stunt or paid for by political activists?
Proprietors have always reserved the right to refuse service to anyone

Back when I was a teenager we hung out in a few places.... donut shops mainly. We knew to hang out we needed to buy something or we'd be asked to get the fuck out....

“Pedro said he was hurt, felt bad, was insulted, and not just for him, but for everyone of Hispanic descent like him, even for African Americans.”

He’s milking the race card for all it’s worth...

You're going to see a company go down a hole where they can't catch the rabbit. If they don't do company training every time a customer has hurt feelings, then they will be called a raciest. Take care of the problem at the point of impact. If the employee is in the right, stand by them. If the employee is in the wrong, take action. Now you are going to hold meetings company wide and tell your employees that they better follow the rules of the company to the letter. Unless it hurts the company, then it's the employees fault that they followed the rules. I wouldn't work there.

I appreciate the fact you can take a joke and get what you're saying but that's pretty fuckin' inappropriate. I'm sure if someone walked up to you and called you a beaner you wouldn't laugh it off. I agree sending it to the press is a bit overboard and he's riding the coat tails of what's already happened but you bet your ass if some dip-shit barista wrote some fucked up shit on my coffee cup I'd be a minimum speaking to the manager and most likely writing an e-mail to corporate and wouldn't find it funny. That's just me. I mean, I laughed at the fact someone had the balls to actually be that stupid to write something like that but the dude has the right to be offended (and that's in a world where "offended" is way over used!). It's just not professional and needs addressing if in fact it is the way it is on face value

Guess I'm just a little different...
Maybe it was how I was raised and the era.
But,I would've asked the guy who wrote it if/What his problem was.
And depending on his answer...
Gone from there.Guaranphukingtee it wouldn't have included crying to the media.
I'm old school...handle it then and there.

Yes, exactly what I'd do. I'd be like, "WTF is this shit??"

After bodycam footage showed the accusations by four different people, including a local NAACP president, of cops racism and/or sexual assault in the last two weeks to be completely false, it looks to me like this is another setup.

Reports indicate thousands of ghetto neighborhoods across America are going to shut down and have a training program in place on how to act like Americans. Many will put down their guns, crack pipes, remote controls, food stamps , and iPhones for a 8 hour class.

This would fix the problem, Starbucks is only adding gas to the fire.
