Feel good story of the day.
A Starbucks manager who was previously awarded $25 million in a wrongful termination lawsuit was awarded an additional $2.7 million in damages.
Shannon Phillips was fired in 2018 after baristas at a Philly location refused to allow two black men to use the restroom since they were not paying customers.
At the time, Starbucks had a policy in place that prohibited non-paying customers from using their restrooms.
In April 2018, two black men, Rashon Nelson, and Donte Robinson, sat inside a Starbucks in Philly while they waited for a friend to arrive.
A Starbucks employee denied one of the black men permission to use the restroom since he was not a paying customer.
