why didn't they just buy a coffee to give them an excuse to hang around.


Because they were waiting for their friend.

Were they gonna buy stuff once they got there? We don't know.

But are you gonna buy some passion fruit tea and your friend is 10 minutes away? You'll be done by the time they got there.

And? What's stopping them from purchasing something else when their friend arrives?

Also, their friend was much farther than ten minutes away - there is no way in hell that they waited without ordering long enough for staff to ask them if they were going to order, waited more time without ordering for staff to talk to the manager, waited more time without ordering for the manager to ask them to leave, waited more time without ordering after telling the manager "no" for him to call the police, waited more time without ordering after telling the manager "no" for the police to arrive, and wait still more time without ordering after telling the police officer "no" to be arrested, ALL within a ten-minute period.


Dude...I was just using the 10 minutes away as a sample. I'm not saying they were 10 minutes away.

What I'm saying is, if I'm in there waiting on someone, I'm gonna wait til they get there to order, thats proper.

And think about it - how fucking long were they there waiting for their friend if they were there long enough for the staff to inquire with them about ordering something, then the manager telling them to leave, then calling the cops, then waiting for the cops, then the cops talking to them, then the cops arresting them, THEN their friend shows up?

Yeah I'm suspicious as well, there's obviously more to the story but we're not being told what. The police are not in the wrong, they were just doing their job. But it makes sense if the bystanders do believe that the 2 guys did nothing wrong. The only one we really need to question is the manager.

We don't need to question the manager at all - if he asked them to leave, they should have left. End of story.

Uh yes, we do need to question the manager to see if it was justified or not. The managers words arent gospel you know.

Staff has the right to remove anyone not purchasing anything. If they told him they weren't leaving, it was DEFINITELY justified.

Not at Starbucks they don't.

Bullshit. Regardless of whatever Starbucks policy may be, the manager has that right, since he's the one ultimately responsible for the store.

And Starbucks is ultimately responsible for Starbucks. You don't get to just freewheel because you're a manager. The manager has to answer to managers who answer to managers who answer to corporate. This isn't a mom and pop cafe.

Corporate policy outranks a manager. The title itself is a give-away. A manager manages a place of business. They are not policy makers.

I thought the general rule was that if you aren't a customer then they have the right to not let you use their facilities.

I've been denied the bathroom because I wasn't going to be a paying customer.

sounds to me instead of just ordering something they tried to challenge their "right" to be there when they really had none.

I mean I see people randomly wait for others at Starbucks or study at Starbucks all the time. but they usually had a drink by them.

maybe this starbucks manager was just being a dick and wanted to reinforce those rules that day but just because these dudes happened to be black then they tried to turn this into a race thing.

Exactly

I mean, unless the bathroom is locked...I'm using it if I gotta go, whether I'm buying something or not.

Interesting question. I wonder if anyone In that other larger non paying group was also disallowed to use the bathroom. Almost certainly at least ONE of them had to use it, right?

Not even that day. He chose to reinforce rules that Starbucks doesn't have for these people specifically.

However, a restaurant is not the same as a retail store like Starbucks.


Did no one else find this an odd statement? Maybe my understanding of business practices is lacking but I find Starbucks has more in common with a restuarant than a retail store like Target or something.


>_>

Just so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

Oh I thought the quote was strange too, especially considering Starbucks themselves describe themselves as restaurants.

At that point yeah they should leave as not to escalate further. That kind of ignores the deeper issue here as to why these two non paying customers who were quietly sitting at a table were told they were trespassing while a large group who were doing the same thing were not.

This, probably, but unjust arrests should be challenged. Not that I see much resistance there. Sorry I don't think everyone should just eat the floor when cops show up. This isn't a police state. These guys that were arrested are not part of the problem in this scenario.

You stated to me that it is not 1963, yet you seem to want people to act like it is. If I have not done anything wrong I will not bow down. And it is not about Pride, it is about caring about the next generation. If they beat me and jail me for doing nothing wrong people will see and just maybe , my blasian kids will not have to deal with the same thing.

Okay, we get that. The cops never should have been called.

But once they get involved, then just leave. I mean honestly, what did they think would happen when they refused the cops directions?

You stated to me that it is not 1963, yet you seem to want people to act like it is. If I have not done anything wrong I will not bow down. And it is not about Pride, it is about caring about the next generation. If they beat me and jail me for doing nothing wrong people will see and just maybe , my blasian kids will not have to deal with the same thing.


lol...okay.

We're fighting for equality in coffee shops!

And LMFAO at the manager asked them to leave so that should be the end of that, no need to ask questions further.

No, they have to have a valid reason to ask them to leave, they cant just throw out whoever they want.


And the cops told them they were trespassing and asked them to leave 3 times.

They broke neither law nor Starbucks policy, which means no one should have even brought in the police in the first place. Nevermind that other "trespassers" watched as this transpired.

This, probably, but unjust arrests should be challenged. Not that I see much resistance there. Sorry I don't think everyone should just eat the floor when cops show up. This isn't a police state. These guys that were arrested are not part of the problem in this scenario.


The arrest was just, the reason why the cops were there wasn't.

How is arresting someone for not doing anything just? Unjust doesn't just mean arresting people because you hate them. You think I can just call the cops on you and the cops are compelled to arrest you and you are obligated to comply?

I think it's a more overarching issue. It's not specifically about equality in coffee shops (which your response sounds very patronizing) but about profiling by businesses towards minorities.

Saying it's just about coffee shop equality is that whole missing the forest for the trees or however it goes. >_>

So take the business elsewhere like they did in the 60's.

If they ask you to leave because you're black, why would you wanna spend your money there anyways?

I told the cops you robbed me. They better arrest you and you better comply. Robbery is a real crime. Who cares if you actually did it?

Because Starbucks does not discriminate. People at this one do.
