The manager gave the white dude the code because she assumed he would buy something.The manager didn't give it to the black dude because he didn't buy anything.

if the rule is "bathroom is only for customers" than everyone should make a purchase first establishing that they are a customer. whoever gave the 1st guy the code should be fired because they selectively enforced store policy.

The fact that store policy was selectively enforced based on color is something corporate needs to address.

Yep.

Solid breakdown of the "problem" some people seem to keep misunderstanding lol or don't seem to get while doubledowning on this whole non-issue of loitering.

Another Black man attempted to use the restroom, only to be rejected and left to watch a White man granted permission afterward.

This used to be the case prior to LBJ's 1964 Civil Rights Act bill that stopped this. In fact, many first year law students will say it's unconstitutional in that it eliminates freedom of choice and association for private business. The libertarians back in the '60s like Barry Goldwater (1964 Republican nominee for president) only wanted desegregation and end for discrimination for public places that were government funded like public schools, public libraries, state and federal buildings, etc.

JUST IN: Starbucks to close more than 8,000 company-owned stores in the U.S. on May 29 "to conduct racial-bias education geared toward preventing discrimination in our stores." (link: https://abcn.ws/2H9h94S) abcn.ws/2H9h94S
