I'm reading all the comments made. I can't contribute any because Starbucks is on my 'don't spend my money there' list.

It wasn't the friend that admitted the loitering, it was other White patrons at the establishment that came forward with statements to the police, that the men were doing nothing wrong that they themselves do quite frequently. [except they're NOT Black].

You guys are desperately trying not to admit this is was in fact case of Racism... and your Fake News theories are just getting shot by actual facts left and right, and the desperation to criminalize these 2 victims is just deplorable.

And what you described is loitering.

One story says it was a business meeting, yet the other quotes them as waiting for a "friend." I've yet to see anyone in a hoodie and sweatpants for a business meeting in my entire professional career. They made it up.
You do if the bathroom is locked.

And, as per tweets I’ve read, other white “loiterers” also asked to use the bathroom and were provided the means by which to unlock the bathroom door.

It’s clear that there are quite a few people in this thread who live very sheltered lives.
Never patronized a fast food place that has locked bathrooms or had a business meeting in casual clothes.
And we’re supposed to believe that because they’ve never experienced either, they cannot possibly exist or occur.

Sure, okay.

I think I would have tried to explain first. You could be right or you could be wrong. We will have to hope someone gets to the bottom of this. If they end up suing for a huge sum of money, as you stated, then maybe you are right. Until then, innocent until proven guilty.
If I go into a business and ask to use the bathroom and am told to buy something, I buy something or leave and use a different bathroom.

If I sit at a table and am asked to buy something to sit there, i buy it.

If I am waiting for someone and don't have $2 I wait for them outside and explain to the manager that I'm waiting for someone and will come back in when they get here.

If a manager tells me to leave because I don't want to buy something and just want to hang out there or use the bathroom I leave. It won't get to the point where the police have to be called, but lets say there is some kind of disagreement. I would speak to the police and if they tell me to leave or be arrested for criminal trespass I leave.

I'm asking for the third time for these links to stories that reference other white people asking to use the bathroom while not paying and getting access. Still nothing.

But you probably would be asked none of these thing, at this establishment, because you (I assume) are WHITE! So you get a pass, at least here... See Whites were not asked to abide by any of these "requirements" for using the Restroom, or to loiter.

So you think the cops, both black and white, who the black police chief says have cultural training at black and Jewish history museums arrested the men for being black?

Starbucks can't arrest anyone.

Don't bother. The racists on here are irrelevant. Always have been.

Show me a study that proves this. Better yet, do your own!
