Starbucks' official response to this movement: "We strive to create a welcoming environment for all of our customers. We do not have any time limits for being in our stores, and continue to focus on making the Third Place experience for every Starbucks customer.""
They should of spelled it out clearer.

Customer = someone that spends money in our business .

But it is necessary to apply the rules equally to white people and to black people. When a business doesn't, that business is breaking the law.

And, again

Internet jackoffs - the men were loitering, throw them out

Starbucks - released a statement apologizing to the two men, adding that they are "disappointed this led to an arrest" and pledging to review their policies "to ensure these types of situations never happen in any of our stores."

Now, I would guess that Starbucks' management spoke with the employee and asked said employee why they were asked to leave and then the call to the police.

You would think that if the employee didn't have some plausible explanation, Starbucks would have fired the employee. Since the employee wasn't fired, it would appear that the employee must have provided Starbucks management with some plausible reason why these two individuals were singled out.

Starbucks should disclose the reason given by the employee.
That employee is no longer with Starbucks. Evidently by mutual consent.

These guys were customers, they were waiting for the rest of their party before ordering.

If the white guy they were meeting had got there first and wanted to wait for them, we would never be having this discussion.

That is undeniable, and that is where most people had an issue. The manager made her decision based on race. The CEO is doing the right things, while also protecting the company from lawsuits (also the right thing).

I do believe they stated that person was no longer employed there. Whether that person will wind up employed at another Starbucks is not clear.
