next questions are: why were these two men singled out among many others who could be considered loitering? Did the manger approach them before calling? Did they explain to her they were waiting on someone?

Starbucks actively encourages people to spend time in their shops. Its why they offer free wifi, charging stations etc. Most people understand coffee shops/cafes to be meeting/hangout places, so ‘loitering’ is hard to prove. So why were they singled out? Thats the key question.

So many things wrong here. But also a misuse of emergency services; I suspect these reactions are common due to the low tolerance that many whites have for blacks, regardless of the grievances.

So what's the lesson here? In what way was the manager a racist? Why did these non paying men insist on not buying and using customer tables. CEO is a jerk for firing manager.

I have sat in many a places without ordering until the rest of my party arrived & have never been harassed while I waited. Wonder why? The two men were waiting to meet with a third man. No one knows if they planned to order later or not.

isnt exactly dressed in suit and tie and if you dont order something your not a customer

So whats the time limit you can sit and wait before placing an order? Before you’re loitering? With free wifi and charging stations, what starbucks have you ever been to that has an active policy of pushing people out the door as fast as possible?
-
hm free wifi and charging stations is that how u see it? I see it as a coffee shop first I guess if ur there only for the free wifi u dont need to be inside taking up a seat for it thats the problem what people like u want stuff for nuthin and she did ask them to order somethin

I really don’t understand what the problem with black people is! They are no different from anyone else and it is hard to understand how some people consider it acceptable to treat them any differently.

“Race is a social construct” Look at this BROWN person calling the WHYPIPO on these BROWN people! Doesn’t that make us BROWN people angry at WHYPIPO because of other BROWN people?!?

A worker, especially female, has every right to call police if she feels there is a problem. All want safety.

This is hilarious to me. I'm not sure why the manager would be defended ANY in this case. She was wrong. Period! I have NEVER seen anything like this go down at a coffee shop. Criminals sit down at coffee shops in the morning between drug deals. The police did their job here.
