Starbuck Calls The Po Po On a Couple of Brews; NPR Hipsters Outraged

[Agnostic007]

LOL I see that now, 'tis what happens when your fingers are faster than your eyes.

been there many times

[HTexan]

haha bitch got "fired"

[Las Vegas]

Damn...looks like another Starbucks employee is going to get canned.  Happened again where they refused restroom service to a black guy while a white guy was able to use it......SJW field test and they flunked it.


Going to be a long summer...

Lmmfao, I was waiting for someone to pull that on them.  So many stores -- it'd be the easiest thing in the world to set them up in that way.

If someone wanted to do it right, though, it'd be to carefully research a certain route to cover (to produce the desired results) then show it as a series of events.

Whenever I think of Starbucks, the old Faulty/Fawlty Towers skit comes to mind, with John Cleese asking the guest if he'd like a "twist of fruit, perhaps" on his order.

[Thin Lizzy]

It would bring a wide smile to my face if Vince got rich suing Starbucks for discrimination.

Another thing I’ve noticed about Starbucks is that they are very poor at snow removal. I guess it’s because they’re based in Seattle and don’t have to deal with it often. That’s another opportunity to get into their wallets, especially if you’re black. You can say that it’s discriminating against you because the snow is white.

He must have had some priors and he must have done something else to get 20 years......like I said....BULLSHIT

You sure you're a black man from the south? Priors? Ummm this happen in the 60s in Alabama. My parents had to enter and leave through the back of stores or houses because that was the "rules".They took whatever the lady said and that was it. I can record statements from my family members that was living at the time if you think it is bullshit I'd rather not because this is something they're rather not talk about.

[LittleJ]

You must have failed miserably at several things since you're such a miserable little racist fuck.

A racist calling me racist

I love all people

You're questioning whether I'm black because I don't believe your story?   I have never heard of a person getting 20 years in prison for taking a leak outside...he must have had the most incompetent lawyer or he had been charged with something more serious.   

[Thin Lizzy]

Apparently, many of the locations opened in lower income black areas were as a result of pressure about a lack of diversity in the company.

U.S. Census data on race and income shows 83 percent of Starbucks stores in the U.S. serve predominately white areas, mostly wealthy or middle class ones

It's hard to believe things have gone this far.

What is so difficult to understand about the fact that a business typically has rules around using thier bathrooms or occupying their space?

Some people break the rules and get caught. Some break the rules and don't get caught If they happen to be white it doesn't make it some fucking conspiracy.

I've been asked to purchase or leave at times and sometimes it seems that no one cares who uses what or stays without buying. These guys happened to experience what many others, who aren't black,  have before them. it's a half assed policy at fault, not racism.

 woopty doo

get over it.

It’s the entitlement mentality. That’s how far it’s come. Plus, the company in question is white liberal elitist so they’re going overboard to conceal this reality.

File this under stuff that happened 60 years ago.

 It’s already been on. It’s called the ghetto lottery. You call the cops and when they arrive you claim some sort of impropriety and then sue the city.  This is just the private sector version of it.

Pathetic

[Irongrip400]

I know I'll get jumped on for saying this, and their lawyer may very well have coached them, but their story I read is that they weren't ever asked to leave by the manager. That they asked to use the bathroom and were told it was for customers only and then they went to sit down and wait for their friend. They said the cops showed up and they had no idea they were there for them. I'm not sure why they didn't leave at that point and got arrested, but if that manager was too much of a pussy to actually ask them to leave and just jumped the gun and got the popo to do her dirty work, then shame on her.

If that is the case, then absolutely. They should have been given the chance to leave. What I'm skeptical about is if they were truly cooperative or not causing an issue why did they not leave when the cops got to the arrest if you don't leave part? I don't know, I'm just saying that something doesn't seem to add up.

[Agnostic007]

I wish there were more video of the incident to give a better idea of what really transpired.

The manager said thst they were approached after asking to.use the bathroom and being declined and were asked if they wanted anything to drink. they said, no because they had their own bottled water. this is from their own lips as well.

The area is over 40% black. this isnt the first time some.blacks guys walked in but it seems.to be the first time that they were denied bathroom use and being able to stay without purchasing anything. it happens all the time, black or white.

Some.people get busted and some dont. The difference is these guys made it into some type.of protest against policy that isnt always enforced for no other reason then staff can't eyeball everything that's going on.

Something else go note. Starbucks has almost a quarter million employee but they are making everyone go through this sensitivity training bullshit. It's a huge over reaction to virtue signal and completly stupid.

Again, not saying that this is some racist conspiracy against blacks, or that they just shouldn't have complied with the officers, I'm more speaking to the manager. If she in fact just immediately called the cops after not really confronting them, that's a pusssy move. I had a similar situation to that, a pussy calling the cops, happen to me in college.

Read between the lines. The area is 40% black. It’s a continual problem.

Political correctness prevents discussing the elephant in the room, that blacks on average are a bigger pain in the ass to deal with.

Someone else here recently started a thread about how his liberal niece was becoming racist after dealing with blacks while working in Chipotle. It happens all the time. When you’re treated like shit for long enough you start resenting the people who are doing it.

And here’s another dirty little secret. Blacks feel the same way. Any black person with half a brain would much rather work in a white neighborhood than among their own.
