had my first taste of discrimination at our neighborhood starbucks! muntik na ako paalisin dahil lang nag dala ako ng jollibee breakfast, to think mas mahal pa ung inorder ko na kape sa kanila kesa sa almusal ko.

hay nako. the philippines is still very much socially stratified.

bakit pagka nagdala ako ng starbucks na kape sa jolliibee hindi pinapansin pero pag nagdala ako ng jollibee sa starbucks pinapansin!

 bakit, mayron bang beef tapa sa menu?! wala naman ah, that's why i brought it there. it so happens i dont like the coffee @ jollibee so i went over to starbucks.

puking inang starbucks yan.

thank God i spoke to them in english. otherwise the treatment i had would have been more degrading.

^ Ganyan talaga sila. Meron kasi sa Katips dun sa Petron Suare malapit lang yung Jollibee sa Starbucks kaya pagbumibili kami ng burger sa Jollibee dun namin sa labas ng Starbucks kinakain kahit na may drinks saka pastries kaming binili sa Sbucks saka kahit na fro-yo pa yan ayaw din nila. Sabi ng friend ko basta ayaw daw ng Sbucks na may kinakaing ibang food sa loob

to a certain extent, i believe what they said. pero nasa labas ako eh. i was like, a couple of yards away from the entrance.

so the staff shifted to another line of reasoning. sabi saken, and i quote verbatim "sir, nasa pinaka harap po kayo, baka makita".

baka makita ang alin? na may kinakain akong beef tapa habang sumisipsip ng toffee nut? lol 

the aroma argument does not work, as there are other people puffing cigarettes nearby. seriously, this has got to change.

you shouldve asked for a manager. I wouldve raised hell if that happened to me. Especially if there is no sign saying "no outside food or drinks allowed". If I really wanted to be a jacka.ss, I wouldve poured my drink all over their table and set the cup upside down and tell that person to start wiping the table (make sure to order a venti next time for maximum annoyance)

part of that person's job is to tell you some superficial rule, then part of her job description as well is to clean that mess.

I also did that, I brought a rice meal at SB and then ordered Strawberries n Cream Frapp, the manager talked to us (I'm with my friends) and said that bringing of outside food is prohibited because it affects the aroma of the coffee, errrr. Hahaha, because my friends are !@#$, after the manager talked to us and went back to the counter, we yelled "WHATEVER! DUH" at her. How mean Ohhh I remember those days ))

is there a warning anywhere in the store about bringing outside food or is this just something that they come up with?

Yeaaa, there is. Kabisado ko pa yun "No bringing of outside foods" hahaha, I always read it before I enter.

then you really cant do anything about it. if there is a rule in black and white, then you have to abide by them.
