You don't have to buy anything to sit at a table in Starbucks, likewise Barnes and Noble and Books A Millions. They were created to be social hubs were people could come hangout, chat or work and use the free wifi. If you happen to buy a cup of coffee or a book great, if not, they hope you still had a great time and enjoyed the social environment. There are no rules that say you have to buy something to use the wifi or to have a seat a table because that's not what they were founded for. If you were listening they said that they were there for a business meeting and that they were waiting for a 3rd member to show up. Perhaps they were being courteous and waiting until the 3rd guy showed up to get in line so that they all could order together and finish their food/drinks together. When the 3rd guy did show up, a white guy, he asked what happened and the cops couldn't tell him what they did wrong, so therefore they should not have been arrested. The cops were wrong and manager was wrong and the two gentlemen were not being entitled.
