Starbucks employees nearly 250,000 people - many who are minorities. It's amazing that people want to boycott the whole company because of the actions of a single employee and quite possibly jeopardize the jobs of people who had absolutely nothing to do with this (again, including minorities).
great post from the guy who said life was good because he just bought baseball tickets.It does not concern you that the title of this thread and statements in the OP are obviously lies that are spun up to stir up hate? Give me a factual and truthful example without the BS and I would not call them out.
That's all @squistion does here. He ignores facts and spins things so it fits his narrative. He's a troll. It's amazing so many people can't see that.
How would anybody know if she did or didnt? How do we know she didnt record in several short videos?
No they aren't and that was not the intent.
They are both absolute lies. They might have been arrested while waiting for a friend/client, but that is much different than saying they were arrested for waiting for a friend. I am pretty sure English is your first language and you really understand the difference.
jon - look again at the thread title, it asks a question, arrested at Philadelphia Starbucks for waiting for a friend? That is asking a question not making a statement of fact.
I didn’t get personal with anyone. Nor do i go around telling others to shut up.
Can't help yourself getting personal with people. Frankly, you don't #### what occurs to other posters. Just shut up sometimes.
Why would you think he cares about knowing all the facts before jumping to a conclusion that has already been predetermined?
Well when you say stuff like 'posters like jon_mx' and then makes absolute statements about all cases which clearly is not true, it is kind of personal. Yes, there are cases like most likely this one which would not have eacalated had they simply followed orders from an officer. That is different than all cases.
1. There is no question mark in the body of the OP.
It. Is. In. The. Thread. Title.
"Video of two Black men being arrested for sitting at Starbucks sparks calls for boycott"
Which is why the thread title asks the question:
"ABC News spoke with the woman who shot the viral video. She said a barista, from behind the counter, shouted that the two men should make a purchase or leave."squistion said:
Doesn’t every store have this policy? I always bought a pack of gum when I had to use the bathroom at the 7-Eleven near my old house. Otherwise, you force the store clerk to either ignore policy or look like a jerk. Not very nice.
Seriously? Have you been to a Starbucks? People sit there for hours and have meetings and whatnot.
Obviously I don't know when what report is false here, nor does anyone else at this point in time.
RokNRoll conducted interviews there for free for hours (see his "this is my life" FFA thread) interviewing potential employees and didn't mention he was paying anything for holding the table - it was his de facto office.
Yea I've no idea. Obviously (or not obviously - you don't know me) I've never been to this Starbucks. But I have taken meetings at Starbucks in Austin and I don't drink coffee. So I don't usually get anything.
You don't care about facts. The highlight of your day is screaming racism at the very first possible chance you get.
I’ve never taken a meeting in a Starbucks without purchasing something or knowing someone I was with purchased something. Seems like just common sense, or perhaps, common courtesy. To each their own though.
All Starbucks wants is for you to at least order one cup of coffee to take up a booth....one cup and you can camp all day.
Your constant trolling of this thread is getting rather tiresome.
I don't know how you can come to these conclusions. Seems like you are making a lot of assumptions without evidence.
You have the freedom to put me on ignore. Things will be so much easier if you stop being a hypocrite and ignoring facts to push a narrative.
They were asked to leave and refused and then refused to leave when the cops came. They were either complete morons or looking to get arrested.
This is not the right story according to some. It’s the key piece of information in the debacle in my view.
And so do you. Yet you have spent this entire day attacking me and repeatedly asking the mods to lock this thread. If my posts or threads bother you that much, why do you continue unless it just some sick trolling on your part?
