Starbucks is overpriced and I stopped patronizing them several months ago.  They did not credit me the stars I was supposed to have gotten for buying 2 bags of their coffee and sending me a text message that the stars would be in my account by a certain date. When that did not happen, I contacted them twice and did not get a reply.  Since then, they lost a Gold card customer.  And you know what?  I don't miss Starbucks and buy senior coffee at McD for less than half the price.

I felt like I'd read this story already but apparently, I either can see into the future or something similar to this, if not the same thing has happened before.

The establishment not withstanding, I feel like if anyone is going to complain about anyone else in an area with public access, they should be told to lock themselves in their bathroom and never leave again.

It was probably someone who had warrants.....any 👮 want to weigh in to say if that would amount to probable cause?

Another MSN article removed. . . I actually clicked on it yesterday and it was already down. 

And WTF is up with people these days?  Don't like someone or feel the slightest threatened, then go tell the barista?!  I rarely go to Starbucks, but asking the barista to help is probably one of the last things I'd think of if I didn't feel safe in a Starbucks. . .

You're using logic and the person complaining isn't.  So I do expect them to narc to the barista.

Good opportunity for Dunkin Doughnuts ad dept.

That one seems to be replaced with the more current article reporting Starbucks apologized.

Thanks!

Nose ring chick - "I think it's valid to a degree.  Because you never know who is good and who is not."  Well, that's life chica. . . You're not gonna always have a Starbucks barista around to help you. . . 

If I were SBUX in that area, I would have a free drinks for any first responder day.  And fire that girl who told them to leave. Unless they were doing a HPD in the Korean bar and waiving a revolver around and it goes off.
