There's too much information missing for me to form a judgement here. For instance, were these fellas rude or were they well-behaved? Did they explain that they were waiting for a friend before they ordered, or no? Just how long were they sitting there not ordering anything? And is not ordering anything while you're waiting for someone a common thing,in general? Because it seems pretty strange to me. Having a coffee to sip while you're waiting would make a heck of a lot more sense to me.mistermack wrote:On the subject of being asked to leave for not buying anything, what's the chances of white people filming it if it happens to them?
Just about zero.
That's why the argument by selective example is misleading bollocks. It's easy to portray something as racism when it's not.
If some decrepit scruffy black fucker demands to use the toilet without buying anything, are they now obliged to comply, when he might just want somewhere to shoot up?
Managers need the right to refuse based on their own judgement. That's what applies in most places at the moment.
After this, the only option left is to allow everybody, or refuse everybody.
Having said all that, you have to understand that racist assholes are coming out of the woodwork over here, emboldened by the new "normal" of this fucktardian Trump presidency.
A misconception that many people have in their misplaced hatred of Starbucks is that their coffee is overpriced. It is not. Their regular coffee is comparable in price to any other coffee shop.mistermack wrote:Edit: Anyway, coffee is overrated and overpriced.
You can get a pint of guinness for the price of coffee these days.
Anyway, I know you meant coffee is overpriced in general. But where is this cheap Guinness you're talking about?? Sadly, we do not have that here. Then again, neither do we have proper Guinness here. So it's a rather sad affair all around.
