The manager who called police on two black men who had refused to leave a Philadelphia Starbucks no longer works there, a company spokeswoman confirmed to ABC News today.
The news follows Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson’s comments this morning that he will order managers of the coffee giant's stores to undergo training on how to spot "unconscious bias" after witnesses said the men were arrested at a Philadelphia shop for doing nothing but sitting at a table.

Liberals love Starbucks. Now they’re saying they hate it. They really love eating their own

Did he quit? Was he fired? Was he murdered by a violent mob?

This should’ve been handled differently by both parties, but everyone crying racism is being ridiculous.
Any normal person confronted by management and asked to please purchase something before using the bathroom (because they obviously are having problems in that business with people not buying anything) would politely buy a $2 overpriced kind bar and go pee or pay for their coffee before their friend got there and tell them to wait to make it.
If it’s even that important to wait. I’ve never asked someone I was meeting at a coffee shop to wait to order until I got there. This isn’t a steakhouse.

I still feel like theres more to this story. Were the guys being obnoxious loud aholes at the store.
I mean ive been to starbucks multiple times without buying anything. Usually the person im with would buy something, but i never do. I have never had a problem like this.

I love how the CEO of a billion dollar corporation was so eager to throw his own employees under the bus for the sake of two non-paying customers who started the altercation.
Really a great culture they have there at Starbucks.

Does this mean I can go hang out in Starbucks and bomb the restroom without buying anything and if I refuse to leave they won’t do anything?
Here’s the thing, close your eyes, now picture I’m white.

So I wonder if vagrants will be able to occupy Starbucks now because the managers will be too afraid to ask them to leave.

This is such a stupid situation.
The real lesson that should be learned here is that if you want to use a business’s amenities, buy something. This should not be a story.

They've hidden the race of the manager so much that I figured it wasn't even a white chick, but heard the 911 call last night and she sounds really really white.

I place some blame on the Starbucks business model ifit allows non-customers to loiter at tables.
Much like the bookstores that allow moochers to manhandle all the magazines that are supposedly for sale. It is a store, not an f'in library.

He doesn’t want to work at a place filled with squatters.

If the manager has been let go and the others ordered to undergo new training it's safe to say they fricked up by calling the cops on these young men.
