Starbucks has a monopoly and zero direct competition. A chain that just has coffee and espresso drinks. No milkshakes or fraps or whatever.

This is a copy of my email to a young man I mentor that got his MBA five years ago, and tearing up the financial world. I was specifically responding to the open letter from the CEO of Starbucks that he had sent out:
Nate, I find the entire situation non-interesting actually. I really believe the issue with that location was the manager/staff and the direction they were given at that location. Why? I see folks chilling in Starbucks ALL THE TIME. Never buying anything , and using the bathroom at will. Heck, being in professional SALES for 25 years I have NEVER seen an issue with folks hanging out in their stores. Don't get me wrong, this action shows WE GIVE A **** as a corporate entity which is OK.....I guess! It also allows an opportunity to open a dialogue...……………………...again!!!!!!! Take a look at the BARISTA's/employee's at STARBUCKS...……………...most are extremely liberal! All in all, I hope those young men that had to deal with that degrading non-sense can use this energy to propel themselves/families/friends/frat/kids into another stratosphere. Don't "miss the opportunity" (Hamilton reference) to make a difference as college graduates when it is laid out on a platter.

It is rumored that Starbucks is also looking to participate in that type of locally based initiative. The two guys are not yelling "bloody murder"! So far are using this national & global attention to do good things.
I had heard they were taking none of the settlement and it was all going to charity. I think the whole things a big joke but my hats off to the two gents for making the selfless decision they did.

Help me out.
The 2 men (I’m color blind) were loitering in the store, and somebody called the police.
The Philadelphia police arrested them. Maybe were rude while doing it.
Why is Starbucks doing racial sensitivity training?
I’m waiting for the Starbucks bathrooms to start looking like the San Jose public library with homeless doing towel baths in the sink, and washing clothes and drying it with the electric hand dryer.
