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.

Starbuck's passion for tolerance can only be tolerated so far...your fired.

Can't if it was a "mutual decision". What a pussy. I would have forced them to fire me.

Love how the narrative is that white people call cops on two blacks and they make it sound like the entire precinct shows up to beat them. They asked them to leave very politely multiple times and even the arrest was peaceful. The police commissioner, a black sjw , even said they did nothing wrong.

When two guys refuse to leave and say “call the cops, I don’t give a frick”, you call the cops.

I don’t care if they are black, Puerto Rican, trans, or Gurkhas.

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

Additionally, this is in Philly right? Not sure which part, but biases, and further more, see something say something exist for a reason. I'd fricking drag my dick over that Starbucks with lawsuits, and settle for a Unicorn frappe made out of cycle

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

Great reporting.

Well, you can keep wondering because you’d have never heard of it in the news if they were.

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.
