I can see Starbuck's bringing a PR disaster onto itself as well as creating a serious loss of revenue. You figure they close for a day and anger long time customers. Strike One. They already are a laughingstock in the media. Strike Two. Now they open themselves up to the homeless, grafter, loiterers, drug users, anyone who wants to come in and take up space. Strike Three.
I do encourage anyone and everyone to go in and demand free coffee. If they give it to anyone, they have to give it to everyone. If they don't, destroy them on social media. Sue them. Boycott.
Yeah I guess like any other tourist place people want a picture . I have been there too . The cooler location is their Reserve Roastary
They have different coffees you can’t get at other locations and you can see the beans being roasted and stuff .
Also they actually have really nice bathrooms , unlike the original location that has no bathroom at all .
I've been there as well, but I haven't been to the Reserve Roastery. Eventually, I'll make it to that roastery, and I also plan to go to the new Reserve Roastery that will open later this year in Manhattan. It will be the largest Starbucks in the world.
Not sure what the Starbucks crisis is from this situation.
The 2 gents in issue are not real estate agents. They're not the ''professionals'' that were portrayed in the media. Guess they were too old to still be ''honor roll students'' so they became innocent professionals being targeted by a Starbucks manager.
That manager made the right call on this one.
Mr. Rashone Nelson, 23, has (6) prior criminal cases with charges ranging from drug possession, operating a motor vehicle w/o permission, receiving stolen property, conspiracy to recv stolen property, probation violations, theft of property, theft of services (ironic).
The scariest of Mr. Nelson's criminal charges is the possession of a firearm in public w/o a license. He did time for this one I believe; he's currently on probation until at least 2021. Good thing they dropped the trespassing charges or Mr. Nelson may have been headed back to prison.
Nelson's on GMA this a.m. going on about fearing for his life when he encounters cops...lol. He should, especially when he's carrying a concealed unlicensed firearm.
Mr. Nelson shouldn't even be out on the streets let alone being a problem in a Starbucks.
Now these 2 are in ''arbitration'' for $$$ from Starbucks.
Another interesting note: a close up shot of Mr. Nelson being led away in cuffs from my Starbucks discloses that his sweatpants were filthy. Of course the manager thought he wasn't a customer; he looked dirty, wanted to use the restroom, and refused to make a purchase because he was expecting to have a ''business meeting'' while dressed in filthy clothes.
Even this description is enough to warrant a bounce-out. The dirty clothed white dudes are no longer in there at all, prior to this incident.

Do not support Starbucks.
Ah,..... the facts are starting to come out..... the facts that the media should have investigated before trying to turn this into another racial issue.

Imagine that. Of course there's no investigation before convictions; everything is based on video snippets after the fact. Just like President Obama did by convicting cops on national TV which resulted in inflaming matters generally and directly causing the death of 5 Dallas cops.
No one knew who these guys were until they went on national TV with GMA to keep the ''targeting black males'' narrative in place.
As stated, Nelson said he's always in fear for his life when the police encounter him on GMA. Of course the professional reporters on GMA didn't bother to ask about these previous ''racial profiling by police'' episodes.
Nelson's clothes were filthy in that Starbucks. The only profile he met was the dirty, non-paying bathroom using, squatting in a seat all day one. This location has cleaned up its act the past few months in allowing these types in, rightfully so.

It's getting better...now the ''commercial real estate agents meeting in Starbucks'' was supposed to ''change our lives''.

And the liberal CEO and former CEO want to meet with these gentlemen to figure out how they can work together ?
Lol .
Can’t make this stuff up .
