        Regardless of policy or lack of policy, we can all agree that 2 minutes is not sufficient time to call law enforcement. No?

        Our local Starbucks provides free ice water for kids after school. Kids who can buy a beverage do so, kids who can’t are able to drink a glass of ice water and hang out with their friends.

        If your going to use their space and electricity for more than 15 minutes you spend at least $1.55 for a short brewed coffee. #BeAGoodNeighbor ☕️https://www.rather-be-shopping.com/blog/2017/06/06/starbucks-prices/ …

        It appears to have one if the person sitting and waiting is black.

        But how long d were they there waiting? Starbucks is a busy place..all available space should be reserved for paying customers. But i agree...i suspect as well if there were racial reasons behind it.

        Can’t blame Starbucks for some folks profiling our race! It happens all the time and at different stores! I am 65 yr old professional black woman, and whit3 women clasped their purses when I walk by them! It’s stupidity at its best!

        Maybe Starbucks should consider having such a policy, on how long folks should be allowed to hang out without buying something, or even using their free wifi without buying something.

        Every local coffee shop that I frequent clearly states 1 drink minimum; bathrooms for customers and no outside food
