From Consumerist, we have this gem:

Today I went into a Starbucks with some friends, one of us purchased a coffee and sat down. A minute later a very large Starbucks employee walks over and says “I’m sorry but you have to purchase something if you wish to sit on the chairs”…Erm , what the hell is that about? We replied saying we had indeed purchased something, we had bought a coffee, and pointed at it showing the employee. “I’m sorry” she replied “but all of you have to purchase something”…What is this? Shall i sit on the fucking floor?! Is this what you wish me to do?! I’m not great on customers rights but you provide a fucking chair, I’m allowed to park my fucking arse on it!

I call Bravo Sierra on Mikey. I’ve been to enough Starbucks and had to leave enough times to know that they have no such policy. In fact, they could care less whether you just sit in a chair and stare out the window for three or four hours, which leads me to believe one of two things:

1. Mike wasn’t exactly behaving in Starbucks and they asked him to buy something or leave because he was making a nuissance of himself.

2. It never actually happened and he’s looking for attention.

I tend to believe #2 is the likely scenario. I mean, look at the way ole whitey dresses.
