It wasn't up to Starbucks. She tried to hand it over the wall in the atrium, a common space, so it was up to the Trump Tower people.
And a short detention to investigate her motives is perfectly legal and reasonable. And further investigation to ensure she isn't a threat is reasonable.
A year ago if someone smuggled a white supremacist banner into a venue where President Obama frequently was and that was associated with him and the local police and SS let him go without any investigation further into him to determine if there was a further threat you would be livid that they were not doing their job to protect him.
