Re: 2 Men Arrested In Philly Sbux For Waiting While Black

For one thing, there is no guarantee that these two guys are totally correct. The employees say that they came in to use the bathroom and were told that bathrooms are for customers only. After that things escalated and the police were called. I don’t think they need to be arrested but the police said they told them to leave. People were saying that they didn’t do anything but they didn’t leave either. Maybe they were waiting for their friend and the employees are wrong. Also possible for sure.

Let’s say that these guys came in and actually were waiting for their friend to show up and some employee had a hair up his ass and escalated up normal situation into way fracas. That’s asinine but in no way means it’s a systemic problem within Starbucks. Starbucks should do is grill everybody at that particular store and find out exactly what happened and then take action at that particular store.

Third, 40% of Starbucks work force are people of color. You expect them to walk off the job? Hardly.

I always give stories like this at least 24 hours to ferment. This one especially because it’s in Philadelphia LOL
