Starbucks to Close Stores for Training After Philly Incident

Although I wasn't here over the weekend, social media was blowing up about two black men being arrested in a Philly Starbucks, just for sitting inside the store. They did nothing wrong. Even patrons of the store were asking the police what the problem was. A Starbucks employee called the cops saying the two men refused to leave or purchase anything. The company has since apologized to the men, but does that make things better? According to the New York Times, Starbucks announced they would close more than 8,000 stores across the country for a day to conduct anti-bias training on May 29. Apparently, the two men asked to used the restroom but were told no because they didn't buy anything. That employee who made the call, is no longer employed there.
