And that about concludes any business I will ever do with Starbucks.
It's not Starbucks that is the issue (although the employees reactions is pretty telling), it's their customers I don't want to deal with.? It's not like Starbucks corporate did this. It was just a single store.

They spoke for a very long time. Watch the YT video from a different person.Why do American police slap then handcuffs on before even speaking to people. Seems like it could have resolved with a conversation.
LOL. ProbAbly Astor place.
Generally speaking, the people that come back after being trespasssed are homeless, panhandlers, or mentally ill. Shoplifters as well.
There's also some subset of people who assume it's okay to come back because it's been a while and they think employees won't remember their face....or they think that old employees have left and new ones won't recognize them.
The store I worked at once had someone who stole our tip jar return months later to ask if we were hiring. People's brazenness is often surprising. Work in an urban retail setting long enough and you see all kinds of crazy stuff.
My wife manages a Starbucks: we have no idea if these individuals have been asked to leave MANY times before. She literally had drug dealers camped in her location dealing. Shes been hit by customers. Shes found dead bodies in the bathroom. Shes had 50 different types of other crazies and homeless and stalkers and angry ex-employees and rich entitled white people and every other horror story in the book that she has called the cops on repeatedly. We have no idea the back story here.
bruh, you just did the same shit I made that post about. The entire point of this thread is that there is NO VALID reason for these guys to get arrested. Thats the point.
The girls said she "thinks" the reason is trespassing. Its not confirmed. There is no statement made. There are no updates. As of now, there is no valid reason why they were arrested.
What we have are people "assuming" they were banned. Assuming they have some sort of guilt for waiting in a damn Starbucks for a friend.
That girl posted that vid at 5:50 yesterday. Those guys didn't get released till 1:30 AM today. 8 hours in fucking custody for what? for sitting?
These guys a real estate brokers. this thread is now about why black people are guilty until proven innocent and why white people are innocent until proven guilty.
What? The definition of trespassing is entering a place you are banned from. If it's true then that explains the accusation of trespassing. But again, no one is saying it's true. It's just what some girl "thinks she heard" (which you even repeated). Chill.
Yup.
So the officers said "Trespassing". Now we have confirmation.
They came in to use the bathroom then proceeded to wait. The attendant said they need to purchasing something or she'll call the cops. They refused, cops were called.
Cops told them to leave. They stood their ground, as they did nothing wrong. Cops arrest them.
Black cops gotta feel embarrassed as fuck in that scenario.

Sounds like an 8th Avenue Manhattan Starbucks.My wife manages a Starbucks: we have no idea if these individuals have been asked to leave MANY times before.

I'd be curious how busy the store is. Most Starbucks locations are pretty permissive about just letting people sit around all day, so long as there's seating available for actual customers. I've certainly heard that super-busy downtown locations will police their cafes pretty strictly though if it turns out that non-customers are taking up all the seats and preventing paying customers from being able to sit down.My friend who works a Starbucks actually started calling police on people basically running their businesses out of the Starbucks because telling them to leave repeatedly wasn't cutting it. There are plenty of people who basically treat it as a lounge where they don't have to do anything except maybe buy a small coffee in the morning and stay there all day. It's weird.

It's kind of weird to hear this coming out of Starbucks at all, because they are arguably one of the chains that is the most permissive of loafers and loiterers. They shouldn't be calling police unless someone has outright refused to leave.

The police zerg rush to intimidate people into surrendering immediately. They're interested in doing whatever it takes to make you compliant, including playing on your primal survival instincts that tell you not to fight when you're surrounded by armed people.Why the need for so many Officers to show up for a Starbucks open hours "trespassing" call?
Nah...Yup.

Its a self-reflecting meme. "_______while black". Add anything to it, even self-driving cars, and it'll have different results.
But you're in the know, right?
What the actual hell... That explanation should have been enough from the start. Absolutely ridiculous.
I mean I literally did this yesterday and managed to leave without the handcuffs soooo...
Do you really think a white female real estate agent would be arrested for waiting for her bestie in Starbucks?
1,2,3,4..5 posts after OP, should be some kind of record. (i believe you are joking)
Cause as a white person who has chilled in Starbucks without even ordering a water this has never happened to me.
Comfy place, free Wi-Fi, they are everywhere, and its easy to say meet me at the Starbucks at X and Y. See ya in 30.
Pretty sure this is a reference to that thread from the other day.
The customers that were standing up for the guys getting arrested??

Why you gotta call him a racist?!Learn to read bro and you're wife's anecdotal experience means nothing.

I'd never go into a starbucks without buying something specifically to avoid shit like this. I'll get a small coffee and just sip it once an hour if I have to. Fuck that. Not even giving em the excuse to try me with that bullshit.
Lol, I got bodied by this. Sarcasm can't be picked up over the internet, huh.

ok my bad but people post shit like that 100% serious all the damn time
we're obviously not at the point where posts like that can just be assumed as sarcasm
Sounds more like a Coffee Time.
Of course not lol. I'm a white suburban guy.
You know Ben Carson is black too right? So it's not like an 'Oh, Okay' qualifier.Lol, I got bodied by this. Sarcasm can't be picked up over the internet, huh.
This
I'm black, btw.
I'm sorry but I just have a hard time believing this
Dead bodies.......
Drug dealers openly selling dope in a coffee shop? What time was this and what would they have done if a cop decided he wanted a cup of joe and walked in? Most dealers try to avoid jail if they can help it, arranging and carrying out a drug sale in a place as public as starbucks is not a very smart thing to do
Its all too much, moreover I don't see how any of it is relevant here. These guys were not dealing drugs, they did not hit the manager or any employee, they were not homeless or stalking anyone. They are also very much alive and don't appear to be ex-employees
The whole thing is some bullshit but why not just take the L and leave? I mean you're not going to win against the cops with a call like that. Business wants you to leave, cops will make you leave in cuffs if they have to. You can't even get people to care when folks are getting shot/killed by cops, you're not going to make a statement holding your ground in Starbucks. I dunno, this country sucks.Yup.

Yeah there's probably a lot of money to be made from situations like this. Hope Starbucks pays the price
