(56,833 posts)unless there is a pattern of discrimination, I would not hold the parent company to blame for one incident. Since it is pretty common for people to sit around at Starbucks to use the WiFi, I would hold the store manager to blame for the incident. I don't even like Starbucks coffee, but I would not boycott them over this.
Heck, 15 months ago, we won the ticket lottery to see Hamilton on Broadway, but it was only 2 tickets, so my wife and daughter went while I waited for them (I tried to get tickets in the cancellation line, but they ran out way before I got there...). My first thought was to go to a movie and see it while they were at the show. However, the only movie nearby that finished around the time of Hamilton was 100% sold out (Hidden Figures), but I ended up hanging out in Starbucks and using the free WiFi while I waited for them. I did buy a snack, but that took like 2 minutes to finish, and I just hung out for another 2 hours. I had my charger with me as well, so left with a 100% charge on my phone.
I left a bit early so I could get a spot for my daughter by the stage door as well.
