#1 I wonder how much Soros is paying the guy with the bullhorn. Zack is doing his best to cope with an impossible situation. He must really need the job, or he would have removed his smock and quit. And then sued Starbucks for abeting an unsafe working environment.

Personally, I've never darkened a Starbucks door, and plan to maintain that record.

#2 Speaking out against the entitlement crowd will produce undesirable results. Nothing new here, it's just being highlighted by the actions of a successful national chain.

#4 With the closing of 8000 stores and diversity training does Starbucks still have a policy of ‘customers only can use restroom’? Does the CEO back employees who adhere to company policies?

#5 This is not about training. This is about the love and compassion and commitment that we all need to have for the customer.”

It's about a lawsuit that would most likely exceed $12 million.

#6 No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service.

BTW, you've forgotten the only reason you exist - the customer. You think you're going to have many after your stores are overrun like the streets of San Francisco?

#7 I heard on the morning radio news today that Starbucks fired the employee who called the police on the men who were sitting/not purchasing.
Unfortunate for her, a Wright State University grad, her company throws her under the bus.

#8  for the customer.

Wasn't that the problem in the first place?

Let's see if the San Fran vibe works as a business model.

Standard procedure in retailing. Remember, the customer (or loitering layabout looking for a warm dry place for his daily constitutional).... is always right.

My understanding is that she (the former manager) is a serious SJW type, too.

The left eating their own.

#11 But they don't teach Georg Büchner in Wright State University

#12 #11, I believe they did in 1979, but that was then and this is now.

#13 I live in a touristy area. In town, it is not uncommon to see a sign saying No Public Restrooms in the window of small shops.

I greatly suspect there was some interaction after the men were refused access to the restroom that led to them being asked to leave and ended with the cops showing up. This will not be reported in the mainstream news since it breaks The Narrative. Already, any mention of the restroom is disappearing from the news stories. Yet another "Hands up, don't shoot!"

#14 I might have had some sympathy for Starbucks if they'd stood up for themselves. But they volunteered to turn their stores into public restrooms. No pride. No gumption. Oh well, McDonalds makes pretty good coffee. Or Dennys. There are always places to get coffee.

#15 Haven't been in a Starbucks in years. Do they really dress the help like Keebler elves?

#16 Do they really dress the help like Keebler elves? Not always. Some wear very dark work clothes.

#17 Why is a blow horn at that range, especially targeting a specific individual, not considered assault?

#19 That fellow with the beard and glasses is in dire need of an 'on the linoleum, ear grabbing twitching fit' and personal injury attorney. Just say'n.

#20 He had probably stuffed a croissant in the bullhorn by then.

#21 I can only imagine standing in line next to the bullhorn guy and burying a fist in his ear when he fires it off.

In that case...Bwahahahahahaha!
