implemented in certain Starbucks in certain areas. In suburban areas and college towns certain people are allowed to post up in a Starbucks all day without purchasing anything and nobody bats an eye.

Also in certain major urban areas that have a large homeless population you can't just have a gang of homeless people posted up in and around your business and running off paying customers so those folks are usually asked to leave and if they don't law enforcement does get involved.

Now those 2 brothers in Philly didn't not appear to be homeless and an over-anxious manager obviously made a bad judgement call.
