    Actually the stupidity of the arrest and the resulting business impact is well understood by most of us. Got to be the bonehead publicity more of the year.

    Because no white people have ever been arrested for being in Starbucks. Bet you can't prove otherwise. I win per usual.

    You don't make a statement and then leave the burden of proof to anyone who disputes it.

    Yes indeed the clerk was force to call in the police and the police was force not to exercise common sense and arrested them.

    Pure set up assuming that the clerk and the police officers and the other customers who record the event and question the reason for the arrest was all in on it.

    You think that starbucks sell good coffee!!!!!!!!!

    Sorry but their coffee is only so so beside being over price and can not compare to my local Cuban shop.

    The Cuban shop offer better cheaper coffee and wifi with beautiful latin women to talk to between surfing the net and drinking the coffee.

    I've had it before when traveling and didn't think much of it. I don't have one anywhere near me though. Actually, there are no coffee shops near me. We make our own.

    LOL if they had tight and limited seating why the hell would they offer open wifi as there is nothing like wifi to slow the turn over down.

    I knew one JAVA programmer who would go to starbucks just to have people around and would slowly drink coffee and program for hours on end.

    True he was drinking coffee but slowly very slowly as he needed to do given the hours he spend at Starbucks IE they was not coming near to having him paid for their overhead,

    Uncle Tom? Evidently, black people in such jobs have to toe the line or get fired. He had no choice.

    Six cops turned up which implies that police considered it a major incident.

    The cops had the opportunity to defuse the incident by talking the Starbucks people into not pushing for an arrest.

    The incident demonstrated the depth and extent of underlying racism in the USA.

    The fact that the detainees were held for 9 hours despite no charge is evidence of racism by the police.

    Again with the "right and left" already? That's very odd. So you are saying that both sides of the American buffoonery are staying away from the place? Golly! I guess them thar people at Starbucks must be all foreigners!
