What was the "Rittenhouse Square" incident?
A Starbucks got mad about two black guys who came in wanting to use the bathroom and called the police because they wouldn't buy a coffee first.
Really weird story. Weirder still that a woman profited this much from it.
Yep. Pretty standard practice anyway. If you're not a customer the bathroom is a courtesy.
It was obvious from the start that the only reason it went anywhere was because the race card got played.
If memory serves, Starbucks responded by making bathrooms basically free for alls, no questions asked. Then backed down from that very quickly when they became junkie dens of death.
There is no way Starbucks would have lost if it was a man. My faith in the judicial system is 0
because the discrimination was so blatant, that they caused her to get death threats, and that it's punitive damages.
It's a woman, she probably wrote them herself.
