So, show us where that's SB policy.


"An employee called the police for help to get the men out of the store but later regretted that it escalated into an arrest, said a company official familiar with the incident, who declined to give a name to freely describe internal discussions.

That doesn't explain what the policy is lol.


It literally does if you clicked the link

An employee said the Starbucks company policy was to refuse use of the bathrooms to non-paying members of the public and asked the men to leave, according to Ross. The employee called the police when they refused.

No but it answers whether or not Starbucks policy justifies this - which apparently it does. Whether or not it's good policy is another question and what they're evaluating now ofc.

I still think there's too large an information gap here to be making judgments one way or another

As for whether the manager should have called the police in the first place or was being racist, that's an entirely different discussion.


It actually isn't

it's kinda the reason this happened in the first place

No, the reason this happened is because they were told to order or leave, after loitering for a significant amount of time, and they chose not to.


How much time do you think they spent there? You've asked this question of others and you keep emphasizing time as if they were there for hours. The cops were on bikes, no? Bike cops tend to be quick on scenes. Some dickfuck called the cops on me for "messing with someone's car" when I was standing on the sidewalk near the busiest intersection in my city in broad daylight at 6-6:30 pm on a Friday in late spring in warm weather while there was some event going on which led to hundreds of witnesses passing by me. I was playing pokemon go and happened to be standing there for 60-90 seconds. Parked cars were in the vicinity. A bike cop approached me to question me not even 4 minutes later, when I was sitting on a bench after crossing the intersection. Cops are actually chill as fuck here, so I didn't get hassled.

Has there been official confirmation on how long they were in the establishment? I would guess 15-20 minutes tops.

Average response time for a non-emergency call is 15 minutes, so unless you're suggesting they called the police literally the moment they walked in the door....

Well, I guess that settles it.


The Starbucks official acknowledged that the incident is at odds with what many people have done at a Starbucks without drawing suspicion or calls to police. The stores are community hubs, the official said, where people often drop in to use Wi-Fi or chat with friends without necessarily ordering anything.

It's been said multiple times they weren't loitering tho and that doesn't coincide with Starbucks policy, so...

They literally were loitering. Had ONE of them ordered absolutely anything, they wouldn't have been, but they didn't, so they were.


Admiral already defined loitering yesterday as including a clause "with no intent to patronize," so maybe prove they intended to leave without buying anything once their friend arrived? If you can do that, it can be conceded that they were loitering.

I don't know. They haven't shown us the policy. Even if they did follow policy.. You don't see the issue with that? If they decide to pull this policy out for two black men but just ignore it for everyone else.. That's a fucking problem no matter if the actual policy said it or not.

The bathroom policy is fair, but is it their policy to ask people to leave for asking to use the bathroom as non-paying customers?

Okay, so the policy is to "refuse use of the bathrooms to non-paying members". Yet it says absolutely nothing about "loitering" (I'm glad we finally dropped that angle). Now let's see if there's evidence that they were actually being disruptive after being told not to use the restroom

What do you call refusing to leave a business when the management and police ask you to?

Being 'courteous.'

Like I said yesterday before you guys started getting pissy, the facts of the case are basically

> They were violating the store policy
> They were asked by a manager who was within his rights to order something or leave
> They refused to comply
> They were told by the police repeatedly to leave
> They refused to comply

The only argument you guys have is that you don't like the outcome here. You have absolutely no argument to make that this was unjustified based on the above.

I'm suggesting that if the cops were bike cops, they were probably in the area and rolled up in a much shorter response time than 15 minutes.

The woman filming and writing this said everyone was asking questions.. but didn't film anyone actually doing this. She only chose to film when they got arrested (after refusing to leave). There's much more that wasn't filmed and I'll absolutely bet on them having done something.

It's extremely unlikely they just asked them to leave.


You're also the same person who couldn't believe that such a 'good-looking white guy' could commit a school shooting. Everyone knows your shtick by now


No, not what I said. And I didn't mention race. You're a liar, plain and simple.

That's not the main issue. Arguing that "they don't consistently enforce the rule" does not mean it's wrong when they do.

And unless you have more evidence of blacks being targeted beyond the claims of this one woman who is well-versed in oppression rhetoric and clearly wanted this to go viral, you don't have any basis to make that claim. I find it incredibly unlikely that in Philly -- where blacks are the largest racial group -- that stores and discriminating against them.

So if a policy is only enforced against black people, its not racist


hutton thinks he can use a single example to make claims about how this policy is enforced 100% of the time

That's not the main issue. Arguing that "they don't consistently enforce the rule" does not mean it's wrong when they do.

And unless you have more evidence of blacks being targeted beyond the claims of this one woman who is well-versed in oppression rhetoric and clearly wanted this to go viral, you don't have any basis to make that claim. I find it incredibly unlikely that in Philly -- where blacks are the largest racial group -- that stores and discriminating against them.


Once again, Addy is avoiding the question like a BLM meeting. So once again, I'll ask the question you are trying so hard not to answer.....

other people said that a woman was allowed to use the bathroom without buying anything. Plus there were a group of people (more the two people Addy) who was in the back and they didn't order anything. So now SB policy is to only enforce the rule if you're black?

There's much more that wasn't filmed and I'll absolutely bet on them having done something.


Really? So in your opinion, what was the "something" they did?


Not sure. But I feel there's more to the story than what the woman chose to show us. You can tell by how she wrote and what she specifically chose to film that she had an agenda and wanted this to go viral.


Do you typically film your entire daily life just in case an incident occurs so that you have all mundane pre-incident context on film? Is that a normal thing for people to do? Or do they typically whip out their phones when an incident is starting to occur?

The usual suspects is going to say "they changed their policy so they can't look bad".

An employee said the Starbucks company policy was to refuse use of the bathrooms to non-paying members of the public and asked the men to leave, according to Ross. The employee called the police when they refused.


Also, other people said that a woman was allowed to use the bathroom without buying anything. Plus there were a group of people (more the two people Addy) who was in the back and they didn't order anything. So now SB policy is to only enforce the rule if you're black?


Like I said yesterday before you guys started getting pissy, the facts of the case are basically

> They were violating the store policy
> They were asked by a manager who was within his rights to order something or leave
> They refused to comply
> They were told by the police repeatedly to leave
> They refused to comply

The only argument you guys have is that you don't like the outcome here. You have absolutely no argument to make that this was unjustified based on the above.


I like how you completely ignore the question. So I'll ask you again.... other people said that a woman was allowed to use the bathroom without buying anything. Plus there were a group of people (more the two people Addy) who was in the back and they didn't order anything. So now SB policy is to only enforce the rule if you're black?

What I bolded is 100% the main issue. Sure it looks like s race thing but even if they were white... that doesn't matter. If you have a policy like that then you clearly display it and you follow it at all times. Period. If they did that then this would have never happened. Guess what? They don't. That's the issue.

I go to a small gift shop all the time at work. Sometimes I forget my wallet. They tell me to pay it back tomorrow. I consistently do this. If I grab something and tell a coworker as I'm leaving I'll pay for it tomorrow like I always do.. then I get arrested for theft... Are you just going to give zero blame to the company and all of it to me because they considered that theft by policy, and common sense, even though the company has consistently let me do that to the point where it became comfortable?

Starbucks deserves the blame here for being lax on their policy.

Good. So, will the racist disappear or counter with why they actually didn't fuck up.

It absolutely does if they only enforce it based on race, and we're short on alternate explanations considering other patrons were allowed to use the restroom without purchase and/or take up table space without purchase. The pressing question is why these men were treated differently, and only the manager can answer that.

The black guys are 100% at fault for arguing with the cops and refusing to comply when they were asked 3 times to leave.

As for the store inconsistently enforcing its policy and escalating this, that was not the fault of the black guys. Even the manager who called the cops said he did not want to see them get arrested.

No one has any basis to make this claim from one example.
