    The reporting on this has been typically terrible with some news accounts claiming she was fired, others saying she transferred out and others just claiming she is now gone which is undoubtedly true but lacking in detail.

    Not exactly the media's fault. Starbucks reps initially implied a "mutual" separation, then switched gears and stated that the manager left herself.

    Bravo. This says it all .....

    That's the mentality that you can see in the photographs of smiling on-lookers (together with their wives and children) in the foreground of black men hanging in the trees.

    People with no proof at all to go on want this incident to be all about racism. They need to feel like black people here are being oppressed
    and they must right this wrong and oppose evil racists. It sets off certain parts of their brains like a Christmas tree all festooned with colorful blinking lights.

    We are all asked to presume that the Starbucks manager was a common bigot,
    chucking black customers out of her store (though customers actually buy
    products and engage in an exchange of money for services...something the two loiterers cannot claim) though no one can cite any evidence of her racism prior to this.

    However I've posted a couple of links to news reports how Starbucks has been cracking down on "lap top hobos"...people who loiter in their shops stealing their electricity, wifi, their space, reading their newspapers,using the restroom, etc. all without spending a nickle at Starbucks itself. "Free riders" Obama called people like that in a healthcare context.

    The interesting part is these people who have been ejected from Starbucks for loitering are presumed to be white, or mostly white, as the
    base of Starbucks customers are. There is absolutely no racial dimension to the war against lap top hobos at all. None! Zero!
    Just as there is no outrage or moral indignation over this issue at all! None! Zero!

    Because when whitey gets tossed out of Starbucks for loitering and treating it like a parasite treats a host organism it's no big deal.
    But when two black guys get tossed out for precisely the same reason....well that's outrageous and some people are invoking the memory of lynchings and other racial atrocities in the worst case of overwrought hyperbole ever!

    I believe that there is a concerted effort to perpetuate racial strife and division in this country and the media obviously plays a HUGE role in that, by constantly feeding the public with outrageous and provocative stories of racial tension.

    All designed to keep white people and minorities (particularly black people) angry with each other.

    All this racial division (as well as division along other political issues) only serves to keep the general public divided, meanwhile the politicians continue to enrich themselves, at the expense of the citizens.

    Yep and the business doesn't state that you can't wait for all parties to arrive b4 ordering. If it does please post it.

    You called them free loaders.



    No we have accounts from the folks who were actually there. Your hero Holly's are out there as well.

    How long were they there? What's the rule? Do you have to order within 2mins, 5mins, 30 mins an hour. What.

    No the point is the same rules should apply to every customer or does only apply to those who are white in your book.

    Please post the guidelines she followed.

    Uh she wasn't fired, I thought you had the facts.

    Only a fool buys that bullshit. Your hero made a fool out of herself and embarrassed the company.

    Lol, I can't believe you had the nerve to post that trash. Black folks want to be treated equally.


    It doesn't follow because you are an id........nevermind. Tell you what go and sit in a Starbucks for a couple of hours an educate yourself on how the business works.

    The CEO and corporate office said she was NOT following company policy, but of course in your ****ed up mind you know more than they do.

    I know she's an idiot.

    It's hopeless posting anything for you so why bother. You have your own backwards ass thoughts as to what happened to fit the narrative you want it to be. Damn what the CEO, corporate office or other employees say.

    Hell you have folks on the job who are serial killers, you don't know that until they start killing folks. You think there aren't racist walking around everyday, come to think of it its plenty of them on this forum.

    Unfortunately you are ignoring them, though.

    Yea because you know more than she does and your ass wasn't even there. smh.

    I have shown nothing but the truth, you are the one who keeps calling these two educated, young, black men who were there for a business meeting parasites, loiters, trespassers, etc. I am surprised you haven't called them what you call them in the comfort of your home.

    The manager was tasked with getting the epidemic of free loaders and loiterers out of the central Philadelphia Starbucks.

    That's why she personally asked the two black gentlemen to order (after one them wanted to use the bathroom). It's pretty stupid to keep stating you can order whenever you want when management says something different.

    Why these two didn't wait outside of Starbucks until this businessman got there
    since they refused to order anything anyway is another good question you can't answer.

    And you said they asked for a free cup of coffee. They did no such thing unless you want to claim they did. Freeloading at someone's business can involve much more than just free coffee but I forgot you don't care about facts.

    When you state you aren't going to order anything what difference does it make?

    I've posted repeatedly, and again just today, about Starbucks attempts to get actual white people to stop freeloading and leave their premises. So your claim is once more bull ***** though you have tried to ignore what disproves your racist claims by disputing my sources without any real reason why. So take your weak excuses and shove them (in your out basket).

    I've posted all of this multiple times before. Get off your lazy ass and look.


    It depends on what news account you read about the matter.
    The fact is, she isn't working in Philadelphia at Starbucks anymore. You characterize that any way you like.

    You are now claiming
    established fact is b.s. That makes your post b.s.

    When white "lap top hobos" are asked to leave they go.
    When these two are asked to order or leave they refuse before having to be escorted out. Is that "equal" behavior under the same circumstances? I don't think so.


    Don't chicken out. Insult me. That's what you want to do, isn't it.


    Unfortunately for you I've long since linked to a number of different sources all reporting Starbucks attempts
    to get their trespassing problem under control. Come up with a better lie next time.



    You mean I won't lie and agree with your b.s. narrative. That's correct, for once.

    So this racist manager fooled everyone and
    worked around black people without incident every single day until this one day she decided to randomly take out her racism on these two free loaders? Zero signs before this one incident? Is that what you'd like me to believe? LOL@U!

    Easy when miraculously all the " loiterers" somehow manage to be black.

    What does that have to do with these 2 young men.

    Tell us how long before you walk in the door do you have to order. So I am suppose to take my coffee and Danish into the bathroom.

    You come up with some of the stupidest ****. Why in the hell would I wait outside, should they have went to the back door to order.

    They were stealing their wifi, oh wait that's free.


    I am not going to order until Yaffee gets there since he is buying, you don't run a damn tab at Starbucks.


    The only stupid ass excuses being made are yours. Anyone with a half a brain can figure out that these young men were treated unfairly except for the folks who hate black folks and want to try and justify the treatment that these young men received.

    You've posted nothing but bullshit repeatedly, I have gotten off my lazy ass and listened to the customers who were actually there and the CEO of the company. I am not going to listen to some one who was no where near the store and trying to push their racist propaganda.


    That's her fault.

    You haven't posted a fact yet.

    The folks in the store said they have never been asked to leave, so that is just more horse **** you are spreading.

    Yep and that escort out the store is going to cost Starbucks big time for something that could have been totally avoided.

    How are you insulted, it is what it is.

    Oh you mean the blogs or opinion pieces you posted. Lmao.

    I mean you won't quit lying.

    Or is it that it finally came to light on this day, the employees working in there would disagree with you. I know that doesn't matter because you know more than everyone that was at the store. smfh.

    Even you can figure that out. They refuse to patronize the store they want to use as a meeting place. That's freeloading.


    LOL...what difference does it make with two freeloaders who don't intend on ordering anything?

    Until they plan on giving a store some business they have no right to expect they are welcome there.
    Did you just get to planet earth yesterday? Has anyone ever explained to you how businesses operate?

    Yes. Free for customers who help support the business with their
    purchases. I guess everything is "free" to a parasite though. That's your view...right?
    The bathrooms, the water, lighting, the electricity, the wifi, the furniture people sit on, the selection of daily newspapers, the actual building itself etc.
    All that just magically appears. Right? No one has to pay for it. It's all free. Free! Why should anyone be asked to pay for anything?

    So order some coffee when the manager asks you to and save the receipt for that big time real estate tycoon. But I've already suggested that several times before and you just don't have any reason at all for not buying...except you refuse.

    Stop! You are making me cry! Two people were asked to buy a cup of coffee and they wouldn't. So they were asked to leave. And they wouldn't! So the cops came and made them leave. White people have never been removed for trespassing. Right?

    I have all the facts I need to know what happened. The only one pushing racist propaganda here is you.

    Her fault for doing what the corporation wanted.


    Tell it to the link. Stop lying and denying reality.


    That's their fault.

    What it is is an insult. Grow up.

    And you know they are all wrong how?
    Show me where they are lying. Tell me specifically how they are mistaken. I'll be waiting for your analysis.

    My irony-meter is going crazy now.

    The manager did what was asked of her...to crack down on
    freeloading trespassers.

    You mean the two people in this issue constitute "all" loiterers ever reproached by Starbucks? :roll:
    Such is the level of discourse among some people here.

    Dude, let's be real here. Starbucks is INTENDED for loitering. I go in there all the time just to use the free wifi or escape a nasty thunder storm. I just sit there and wait it out.

    I get that "technically" it's loitering but come on...it's ****ing stupid. There's more free loaders in starbucks than anywhere else. It's just a place to chill.

    Dude...maybe that's why a corporate policy was developed by Starbucks dealing with the problem of freeloaders clogging their businesses up with "free riders". Did that ever occur to you?

    Try reading one of my links about "Lap Top Hobos" in Starbucks.

    Haha whatever. I just find this to be so stupid that they called the cops. It's a ****ing starbucks. The employees make crap for pay, they sell over priced coffee and food (a bottle drink there was 5 bucks when I went this morning). The people who chill there also bring in business. People conducting meetings, people meet up on tinder dates, some people buy and some don't. The point of starbucks and coffee chains is to be a hangout zone.

    Some people just won't buy 5 dollar coffee because they are waiting for a friend, or they are waiting out a storm.

    I can understand if these two men walked into Apple store and just sat on the ground and started hanging out...but this is a ****ing coffee shop.

    In this particular case of these two young men, I fully believed race was involved. I didn't at the beginning when this came out, but now I think it involves racism on the employee part.

    Do you have any evidence to the contrary? Feel free to post any links to news stories about reputably dressed white men arrested for loitering at a Starbucks.

    It is just amazing how some folks don't understand that you don't run a tab at Starbucks, if someone is buying I am going to wait for them to arrive before I order. I have never seen a case where you tell the waitress or host that all of my party hasn't arrived so I am going to wait to order and they tell you to get out.

    It's obvious of folks who have never been to a Starbucks before.
