and they did nothing more than woke me up and said that if I dozed off one more time, I would be asked to leave.

I think that this particular Starbucks in Philly...or this particular part of Philly...simply has some racist employees, I see people waiting in Starbucks all of the time with no drinks...and I have done that myself...

Unfortunately, for Starbucks, this incident WILL reflect on them as a whole depending on how it is handled.
