They were probably on the verge of brokering a huge commercial real estate deal, so they got miffed.
Don't believe it. Even if true, that does not give them a right to curse at the manager, and insult the police, being disorderly, and causing a disturbance.
not just any people. CUSTOMERS.
do you know what a customer is?
Yes. And I understand that you have been trying to define these men as not customers, because they hadn't engaged in a financial transaction. But you see, I've actually managed a restaurant before, and I've managed a mall. Someone who comes into a mall is a customer. Whether they buy anything or not, they are a customer, because the potential to buy is there. Someone who comes into a Starbucks and sits at a table is a customer, whether they've bought anything or not. Because the potential to buy is there. That is ALWAYS the assumption of managers of businesses. A person who comes in the door is a customer, because just the fact that they have entered means they are a potential sale.

In sales, commerce and economics, a customer (sometimes known as a client, buyer, or purchaser) is the recipient of a good, service, product or an idea - obtained from a seller, vendor, or supplier via a financial transaction or exchange for money or some other valuable consideration.
So, just to make sure I understand this, you believe that day was the day the manager was going to chase off black people and those just happened to be the first two black people she targeted?
That could be the case. It could also be the case that something else happened to have her target these two men, which might be a prior incident.

You are wrong. If you shop at a mall you are a potential customer. You are allowed to look around to see if you want to buy anything,
You can't go window shopping at a Starbucks.
You can go in look around to see if anything interests you and leave if you choose not to buy, but when you sit down and refuse to buy something you are not a customer.

wrong. until they make a purchase, they are a potential customer. otherwise you've just opened up the door of every business in the country for anyone and everyone to hang out and use whatever facilities are available without patronizing the business and making it undesirable for ACTUAL customers who want to buy something.
