    The way I see it is if you have ever purchased Starbucks in your life you are a customer.

    So Starbucks is a right wing leaning corporation now. LOL!

    I must have missed the headline stating Chick-Fil-A bought them out...

    So are Starbucks coffee shops only in liberal sections of town. I live in the South and I see plenty of Starbucks and the South is mainly conservative.

    I live in the north east (a liberal strong hold), and I have 3 Chick-Fil-A's with in a 10 minute drive from my house. What is your point exactly?

    I keep hearing this liberal bullshit as if conservatives aren't patrons and employees at Starbucks.

    Do you agree that Chick-Fil-A is conservative leaning? If so, can you prove that liberals never eat at Chick-Fil-A, nor any of their employees are liberals?

    Starbucks is a left leaning corporation, it's common knowledge.

    Thanks for posting all the details here so a reasoned conclusion can be drawn and we don't have to deal in speculation.

    NOT

    Why did the manager tell the black guy "you're actually not allowed in here anymore" which would seem to indicate he has caused problems in there before. Was the white guy a regular customer who purchased something whenever he came in so the manager has reasonable cause to believe he would after using the restroom?

    Blues, we both know that liberals haven't given either Starbucks story any rational thought. That would rule out racism my friend, and that's not gonna cut it for them.

    We will hold Starbucks accountable until they apologize and fix their mistakes? Isn't that how it works? See we can actually engineer change when we want it because people and businesses are usually embarrassed when policies or incidents resulting in discrimination are discovered. They actually care about losing our business. I know this seems strange to you because no one cares about upsetting conservatives.

    It is a sad state of affairs. Companies now can refuse to sell a gun legally and deny blacks use of bathrooms.

    Starbucks to close all company-owned stores on the afternoon of May 29 for racial-bias education day

    Starbucks will close 8,000 of the company's U.S.-based locations to train 175,000 employees and address implicit bias, promote inclusion and help prevent discrimination.
    Once the company has completed this training at its company-owned locations it will make the it available to its licensed partners.
    The company is working with the Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund and the Equal Justice Initiative, among others to create the program.
    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/17/sta...-on-may-29-for-racial-bias-education-day.html

    WHAT? What's the training going to be "if the person is black let them do whatever they damn well please no matter how it disrupts the business".

    This one sounds like it may have had some legitimate bias. It's too bad people trot out "racism" where it doesn't exist so often that stories like this one are now less impactful. It suffers a bit of the "meh" effect, even when maybe this is legit, due to such over use.

    " You're actually not allowed to be in here anymore."

    Sounds like not the first time.

    It's silly and patently untrue to claim there are no racists among the LW.

    If he had gone in with a dress on he could have demanded to use the ladie's room.
    If he had claimed he was an illegal immigrant they would have granted him sanctuary.

    Just like clock work, I have to give you credit you guys never let me down.

    If he wasn't suppose to be in there why didn't she ask him to leave when he first asked for the code to use the restroom.

    Not only that, sounds like a setup. Ward said he was denied the restroom code minutes earlier, then the white guy was able to get the code. So did Ward (the black man) wait outside of the Starbucks and question any white person who was walking out if they attempted to use the restroom without buying anything? How would Ward have known that Westin (the white man) used the restroom and didn't buy anything? Doesn't make sense.

    I would also like to know why the manager denied Ward the code and gave it to Westin. Did she have a reason, such as Ward had caused trouble before or is Westin a regular paying customers. So many unknowns.
