Starbucks executive chairman Howard Schultz tells "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King he "couldn't believe it" when he saw the video of two black men being arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks. But he admits the racial bias incident may not be isolated to that store.

Actually, when i was younger and a drinker, my favorite bar in Seattle (shout out to the Comet Tavern) welcomed the homeless, as long as they "did not drink alcohol" and did not panhandle. And some of these people were very interesting with great stories, even if they stank a little. I never once felt offended by this policy. In fact i took pride in it. Maybe it's the way i was raised?

+Tim England Again, Civil rights are being broken. Anyone should be able to go into any establishment, homeless and filthy rich, as paying customers. Some places want more appropriate clothing and that needs to be posted on front door! In a bar, everyone over age 21 can drink, as long as they are approprite in behavior after several drinks, homeless to filthy rich! It sounds like the comet bar is living by 2 justices of the law? Illegal!!!

I can publicly vouch for this man . . . Starbucks chairman Howard Schultz. I have been a shareholder of Starbucks for many years and I have watched him closely . . . his values . . . his leadership style and his commitment to social justice. He is genuine and he will address this. And his reaction to this situation is not lip service. While he might have been ignorant of the prevalence or level of inherent racism harbored by employees I'm confident, in no way, he ever supported it. Howard I believe the solution to this includes firing this particular employee and making an example out of him or her. I suspect you are hesitant to do that but I encourage you to see the benefits of bringing that type of accountability for this kind of behavior which is counter to Starbucks culture.

Corinna Turner What's "systemic" is : (1) Starbucks hires black people on the regular. (2) Starbucks has blacks in management and upper management. (3) Starbucks has black Licensed Partners. (4) Starbucks serves thousands of black customers DAILY without incident. (5) Managers have asked people of all colors to leave and they have left with no incident. Starbucks is a PRIVATE BUSINESS and not the social services office. What's "systemic" is that in the USA there are too many people who have an entitlement attitude and not enough people stand up to it.

starbucks is a business, not a homeless shelter with free showers. if he would have bought a cup of coffee then he would have been able to take a dump and chill there for a bit. but he refused to buy and refused to leave. when that happens, you call the cops and they will ask the individual to leave or arrest them for trespassing regardless of their living status or skin color. you can cough up a few dollars for coffee, leave or spend a few hundred dollars in court costs when the cops put you up in a place to stay due to trespass

i go to starbucks 4 days a week, i've had had problems where people come in and not buy coffee or a snack and take my space to drink coffee with my sweet bread, it;s not fair. if people want to be at a place to talk or read, then go to a library, the park, but don't take customers like me and take my space when i want to sit., regardless of race or religion. i live southern california, and in the Coachella Valley and the COACHELLA fest was taking place and when i came to buy coffee, i went to sit on a high table looking out the window, and this youg girl came up to me and told ME that i took her table, i turn directly to her and i said, " does this this table has your name?" and she was there just using the power to use her Iphone for her site report. to me it's wrong to tell that i can't sit there. i believe starbucks should make a policy on their front window that starbucks is a coffee store only and not for other unexcuse reasons.

I briefly trained to be a Starbucks barista after college and one thing that stood out during the training and that I clearly remember to this day is that, anyone who sits inside Starbucks or its outside/al fresco seating areas even though they did not buy or will not buy a drink, the staff is not allowed to ask them to leave or vacate the seats, the premise being that once in their lives they have been customers of Starbucks, only if they're causing trouble perhaps is the only time they can ask people to leave.

Call it what it is: damage control. He wouldn't have cared if there were no video, but since there was a video "he was sick to his stomach".

no such thing as "unconscious bias" unless the biased person is in a coma when being biased.

He is not responsible for the actions of one employee. I applaud this man for wanting to make a difference instead of ignoring the problem. Starbucks - my new favorite place!

The CEO is doing the right thing as a lease and that is take responsibility and then correct the people under his leadership and be sure those who may not know is educated on their policy.

No joke, I was at a Starbucks and a white homeless man was in there. Smelled like he went number 2 on himself. People left, I was gagging from the aroma but no one asked him to go. What’s up with that?

The fact of the matter is that Starbucks is responsible. The manager from that store apparently has a habit of pushing customers away due to nonsensical ethics due to an inflated ego from a position that probably wasn't even earned. Geez! How often do people spend hours in a Starbucks? Also, why are there never any Starbucks in predominantly black or Latino areas?

Schmuck you are twisting and distorting the facts conforming your identity politics A starbucks franchise is considered private property ; ie , employees have right asking a non paying person to leave the premises. If they refuse to comply they face arrest for trespassing ......Simple . The PC police are destorting , twisting the truth .

Ok, everybody go to Starlucks tomorrow and Just order nothing and play with your devices for hours. Also go into the restroom and bathe. My lawyer said to tell them I’me waiting for a friend. Can you go to any restaurant and just sit and wait for someone? What if the person they are waiting for don’t show up for several hours? At least order a drink or a beverage. Most people would order something right away and not wait for someone to show up.😛

Jim Fromearth you’re using too much common sense. It’s 2018, no one in the media or liberal land knows what that is.

Manager politely followed Starbucks policy to ask the two non-customers to leave. When calling 911 She said “We have two gentlemen who refuse to order or leave the café.” The CEO Schultz called her a racist. That is BS he lied about what she said accusing her of complaining that “two black men won’t leave the store.” He through her under the bus. The CEO Schultz is the only racist in the room!

"Nobody should be asked to Starbucks"............ unless they're homeless or mentally ill. Really!? Who determines they are a mental case or homeless, the barista?
