Cops Arrest 2 Black Men Sitting In Starbucks For ‘Trespassing’: Video

Here's hoping she sues Starbuck's ass off!
She did her job and got fired for it. And judging by the link I provided (in #1656) Starbucks has had a policy of getting "lap top hobos" to buy something or get out...no racial considerations at all.

 

That's not how it works on planet earth. It is very clear to me that you do not understand business at all nor has the term "competitiveness" sprouted any growth in your business sense. Seriously, you haven't the tiniest knowledge about business matters.

So extremely foolish of you.

 

And somehow you're a business genius. Go figure.

 

Save you business lectures, Bill Gates. You know next to nothing and don't seem to realize that the manager at Starbucks was only following corporate procedure. Read my link if you don't know, and it appears you don't.
Get your own lines, by the way, and don't pretend you can teach others anything. I love the righteous indignation of the truly uninformed.

 

Starbucks is a successful business but bad managing can change that in one day. If you don't like me giving you lectures then take it from Starbucks by reading any link about Starbucks' reaction and regrouping. You think you know more than they? Ha.

Funny, you saying that. Read the dialogue again and learn something ........... or don't.

 

So you can assure everyone that Starbucks now has a pro loitering policy?
Okay.

I've learned how hilarious your posts are.

 

Your major problem - regardless of thread content - is a willingness to latch onto absurd conclusions.

Yes, I can imagine that is all you are getting from it. But in the business world professionals see the wisdom in Starbucks method, regrouping, and making improvements so that they may continue to enjoy the successes they have achieved.

 

Yours is you seem to know nothing about the subject matter and you've taken one single case where Starbucks has capitulated to bad p..r. (contradicting their own policies) and now, in your own dank mind, made that anomaly the rule rather than the exception. Such "thinking".

Which "business world professionals" exactly think condoning loitering and "lap top hobos" is a great business model?
That's a rhetorical question....your contention is absolutely asinine.

 

Here's more:

 

I don't buy it. I find much more likely that an attorney whose job is literally to make money off race politics would leave out details or lie about a story, for which we only have his word, to get free publicity in the Huff.

 

Prove what? That the right wingers these days are part of the KKK? I'm not going to feed that troll question. Sorry.

Not true. The article of the OP says
"We declined to bring charges against the two men because there was a lack of evidence that a crime was committed"

Pff.. an utterly massive company spineless? They just caved in on the social pressure that the company is dead wrong. lol

 

The two "victims" of racism's own story contradicts the facts of the case.

 

It's lack of evidence. So it says in the OP.

 

There is lots of evidence, uncontested evidence, that the men were asked to buy something or leave and they did neither. That is loitering...a crime. Not homicide but a crime all the same.

They capitulated to social pressure because Starbucks doesn't want the bad publicity. The company is dead wrong about nothing
excepts perhaps their cowardice. They just invited their many thousands of locations to become homeless shelters.
We'll see how many customers want the strong stench of urine and feces
with their lattes.

 

Really, why has no one posted any of that evidence. So you have never entered a restaurant, store, etc. and waited on ordering because all of your party wasn't there.

Oh that's what it is. I guess the fact that the folks in the restaurant disagree with you and they were there and saw EVERYTHING that took place really doesn't matter. I guess they are cowards also.

I didn't realize these two gentlemen were homeless.

Wow. smh.

 

Nope! At the least I order a drink of some sort to show the restaurant I'm holding my table. I guess these two "real estate" magnates were too important to bother with that, however.

The facts of the case aren't in dispute. I have no idea what this "disagreement" you're talking about is. You mean the incredible sense of entitlement these two guys who would not order any product or leave the premises have? http://money.cnn.com/2018/04/16/news/companies/starbucks-ceo-apology/index.html

Neither did I.

 

Nope, almost any restaurant you go to all you have to say is, "everyone is not here yet" and that pretty much takes care of it.

Your right she wanted the black customers to buy something, but the white customers were not held to the same standard.

The entitlement is always given to whites in this country, that is why the white customers who hadn't purchased anything were not asked to leave.

Talk to the idiot that made the claim.

 

What do you mean "nope"? You asked me about my experience in restaurants.
Once people are seated they are expected to order something. Anything. Drinks, appetizers, etc.
Perhaps it's different for you at Popeye's Chicken or Kenny Rogers Roasters. But I've never been to a restaurant where people are seated but refuse to order. It doesn't happen. Once seated you order something!

By what right does some entitled clown, or clowns in this case, have that says they can use a coffee shop's facilities but not pay a crummy nickle back?
You claim to be black...is this typical black privilege? Getting a free ride, like a parasite?

I didn't realize you were there. We all know what a racist hell Starbucks is but look at my link in post #1656 to see how white "lap top hobos" are treated at Starbucks.
People that take up space and don't order are asked to leave. Period! I back up what I claim.

So ****ing ignorant of the facts! Once more, that's post #1656.
See if you can learn something.

Show me where I made that claim. Some idiot, who thinks I did. must have gotten everything
all ****ed up! How stupid of him.

 

Not true, I have 3 partners that I eat breakfast with on Sat or Sun mornings. We go to IHOP, Cracker Barrel and Golden Corral, whoever gets there first gets a table (except for Golden Corral) and we wait on the others to arrive before we start ordering and it's never been a problem.

Nice little racist jab, I guess all black folks eat fried chicken. Perhaps it's different at Billy Bobs Diner.

So you have never waited on all of your party to arrive at a restaurant, it happens every day.

I wasn't, I just listened to the folks who were there.

I don't think Starbucks is racist, but as on this forum they probably have a few racist folks working for them.

How are they taking up space? Was there folks waiting outside to get in? Hell no.

LOL, I am ignorant of the facts and yet the CEO of Starbucks has stated publicly that these young men were unfairly treated. The Mayor issued an apology, but I am ignorant of the facts. Your ****ing joke.

Did I say you made that claim.

 

Then you are regular customers who are known
to patronize a certain place every week end. That's hardly the same as these two nobodies who show up, take up space and refuse to either order or leave.

I love fried chicken. Does that make me black? My mother's fried chicken was the best (and her potato salad).

Even if I was in that situation, when the waitress start's taking orders (appetizers, drinks), as she does when people are seated,I will order. Period!
Who has the guts to sit down in a business, take up their space, and refuse to order? What sort of entitled jackass does that?
I mean aside from these two real estate clowns?

So there were white people there who also wouldn't buy anything but who also refused to leave?
Where is there proof of that. Did a single one of the people claiming this tell the cops? Not according to the police.

And yet this manager has been moved out of Philadelphia. But not fired. Since Starbucks cannot kiss enough ass trying to make up for
actually following corporate policy why is this woman still an employee?

Quit making crap up!
Again, you weren't there and I know from personal experience lots of time you look at a full Starbucks and just turn around and leave
knowing you won't have a place to be seated.

Apparently you never heard the Philadelphia police insist they did nothing wrong and they simply responded to a trespassing complaint. If Starbucks CEO wants to cover his butt by kissing other people's butts that's hardly surprising.

Yes. You did and since you apparently can't read you can't comprehend the difference between the hordes of homeless people I now predict will infest Starbucks, since they have nullified their own loitering policies
is order to kiss more ass, and the two guys who started the whole effin' mess with their entitled, privileged Starbucks owes me a
place in their cafe as long as I feel like sitting here b.s.
You clearly do not comprehend what you read and I hope Starbucks goes belly up and the whole damned chain folds up and goes away.

 

Says you. Starbucks, a massive company, is just groveling in the open with excuses over this. With a fact like that,... I dunno how you can dismiss the idea that Starbucks is simply in the wrong. But that's what you do. It clearly says in the OP that the cops were not able to file any charges due to a lack of evidence. So they made a bogus arrest. Clear and simple.

It's seen in the vid that people openly are jawdropping and wondering why those two are being arrested. Massive amounts of comments are around of white people who did the same, never got treated like that. How about you take things into account that you don't like? Might help.

 

Actually we are not known.

It's pretty damn obvious you have never stepped foot into a Starbucks and they we're waiting on Yaffe to show up he was buying. What is so ****ing hard to understand about that.

Oh clean it up.

Do you love her watermelon also.

It works both ways, I have ordered and not ordered and it wasn't a problem.

Talk about a crock of bullshit. People do it every damn day, where in the hell do you live. Some folks go into Starbucks just for the free wifi, same as McDonalds and other places. What in the hell makes them entitled because they are having a freaking business meeting in Starbucks. That is about the most asinine **** I have ever heard in my life.

No, they were NOT asked to leave. I have posted the white customers comments several times, not taking the time to do it anymore. You are wrong as hell and you don't want to admit it.

You quit making up crap, you're ass wasn't there either. I am listening to what customers who were there said.

Amazing how the Philadelphia Police Dept and the Mayor issued an apology to these men as well, but I guess they are just kissing ass also.

Maybe they will put up a flashing sign telling the homeless to pile in. smh.

What I can't comprehend is the bullshit you are spewing and want to make the claim that you never wait to order until all of your party arrives.

 

Face facts. No white person on this forum has ever been asked to leave a restaurant because they didn't buy something immediately. In fact, probably no white person on this forum as ever been asked to leave a restaurant for any reason.

 

I thought we agreed that you can take up space in any business establishment without spending money. You are saying that this new rule doesn't apply to my daughter because she is White. Thanks for exposing your abject racism..... I knew it would't take long........but thanks for playing!

 

I’ve been in many Starbucks in my life. Never seen anyone kicked out. Never seen an incident. Seen black, white, Asian, everyone sitting around, eating, drinking, other appearing to be done or chilling out. Seen college students doing work. Seen people on what appear to be interviews or conducting bussiness. Seen fat nerds sitting there downloading movies.

If starbucks was racist, I just wouldnt see any blacks there. Honestly I see far fewer black people compared to others there but it’s probably basic economics. I see far more in Dunkin donuts or fast food joints for example. But it’s just math, not racism.

Starbucks would be the last place I’d picture racism. But I can certainly understand people with attitudes starting a scene. I find it hard to beleive these guys were singled out because they were simply black. It just doesn’t compute. Homeless or dirty people making others around them uncomfortable would be asked to leave but this isn’t the case.
