Why didn't they just order something or leave? It's not that serious. Alot of business have a similar policy. You can't just be hanging around. You have to buy something or leave the premises. Anyway, why would they meet at Starbucks if they're not planning to drink any coffee? They could have just met their friend in the parking lot.

At Starbucks you CAN just hang around. You don't have to buy something. That's Starbucks.
That makes no sense in a place of business. Does Starbucks have this policy in writing somewhere, because I don't believe it.
It's not enforced that you have to buy something at Starbucks, but that's been the case of every Starbucks I've been to around the country. You can meet there and hang out and loiter as long as you aren't bothering anybody.

I still have seen no evidence such a policy exists at Starbucks. So what you are saying a crowd of non customers could occupy Starbucks, not buy anything, and create a situation that paying customers have no place to sit, and the company would be OK with that?

It makes perfect sense in Starbucks. And perhaps you should read up, because the CEO of Starbucks has been saying this all weekend long. Starbucks doesn't want its customers to just see them as a coffee shop, they want customers to see them as hang-out places. Like second homes, so to speak. That is WHY they offer free Wi-Fi, and that is WHY people go there and literally sit for hours. Starbucks wants them to be comfortable enough to sit there for hours. And people do.

People are just making up stories, pretty soon they are going to say that Starbucks are public libraries.
