A former Starbucks regional director has sued the company for wrongful termination, alleging the company discriminated against her in the aftermath of a highly publicized arrest of two black men at a Starbucks store in Philadelphia in April 2018.
The arrests of two black men at a Philadelphia store have not hurt sales so far.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross apologized Thursday to two black men who were arrested while waiting for a business meeting at Starbucks, saying he made the situation worse by initially defending his officers' actions.
The two black men arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks last week say they were handcuffed within minutes of entering the store.
