[The CEO Kevin Johnson says the
coffee chain offers its "deepest apologies" and will do "whatever we can to make things right". Mr Johnson said he hoped to "meet personally with the two men who were arrested to offer a face-to-face apology". He said the company intended to "investigate the pertinent facts and make any necessary changes to our practices that would help prevent such an occurrence from ever happening again".] Video on this link https://news.sky.com/story/starbucks...iting-11332497 Good the CEO is dealing with this mess Last edited by arista; 15-04-2018 at 03:45 PM. |

my opinion is bad attitude, you cannot just use a toilet which is for paying customers, be asked to leave and refuse

Except the article states nothing about them being asked to leave after being denied access to the toilet. Fair enough if it's only for paying customers, but then being arrested just for sitting down while waiting for a friend to arrive is a completely different story.

I don't know why the race was mentioned in the first place. Race has got zero impact in the story apart from people who choose to use the race card. If the two men were intending using the toilet before buying something then fair enough, Starbucks failed (I don't know anyone who buys a coffee then takes it in the toilet with them). I know what you mean regarding the deliberate use of the facilities but again, we don't have the full details.

I've had meetings in Starbucks before, and I don't always buy anything. In fact, I used to eat my lunch in there all the time... the only time they're fussy is when you're squatting with a laptop for an extended amount of time hooked up to juice, don't buy anything and the place is super busy.

and they probably would have allowed them use the toilet too. I've often used the toilet in places like that and have never been told I couldn't

Their real crime was not ordering a caramel machiatto. I'd have arrested them too.
(But no, I don't let non customers use the toilets. We're not allowed because we kept finding needles in the cistern. FUUU I really hate my job ) |

According to a witness, they were in the shop for only 15 minutes before police were called. Which if true, is beyond ridiculous.
