(2,429 posts)that is against the TOS and you should apologize.
As for firing the manager, I was going on the info at the time. I was unaware she had prior complaints.
"Your blithe unconcern over the equality of enforcement is quaint,"
You are misreading what I wrote. My post was about whether to blame Starbucks as a company or the cops. Neither of those two entities enforced the "no hanging-out" policy unevenly. It's not even clear the company HAS such a policy.
"If white people are allowed to sit and wait without purchase and black people not even you should be able to see that is a problem."
You're damn right I can and do. That said, once again my post was about blaming the police. The police are not the ones saying the guys must leave, the manager said that. The police have to go on her word, if she says its trespassing then its trespassing.
"What is the difference between them and the people who got bathroom codes or sat waiting and didn't get detained for nine hours is one racist manger with a power trip. "
Uh huh, which once again does not say anything about the cops (although it does speak to Starbucks' hiring practices).
