Sorry to break it to you, but there's no rule that says 30-50 people aren't allowed to be in public without your express permission. Even if they're teens!

You sure those were all the same people? Clutch those pearls a little tighter. Squirrel Hill isn't turning into 1980s-era Compton.

What makes it a Blue Collar bar? Do they check your boot straps & see if you can pick yourself up by them at the door? This post is dumb, Pittsburgh is a diverse city & I've seen blue collar folks at every type of bar around here.

Instead of isolating maybe open up to people you may think you don't have a lot in common with? Chances are you do.

I have witnessed first hand on many occasions the baristas getting harassed by the students and explaining to other customers that the bathroom is locked because of the students, that doesn’t seem like embracing them but okay. And the location is absolutely now mobile only during school dismissal hours.

And yeah I know the rape happened there it doesn’t say it in the article I linked above but everyone in the neighborhood knows it was there. Very sad.

Also, it's real weird that the argument seems to be whether or not this person offended Black people or Jews, and not "Maybe don't call a place a ghetto just because you feel like the neighborhood has the "wrong" people in it."

Wrong. Starbucks baristas embrace the Alderdice students and push back against the police that show for the e almost daily calls for fights and unruly behavior.

The police that are already at Starbucks and ignored by these kids or on paid, private detail and have been hired by Starbucks after an UNDERAGED GIRL WAS GANG RAPED IN THEIR BATHROOM. Though they still supposedly must carry out their official police duties, Starbucks has given them a mandate not to mess with the kids. They are, sadly, $90 an hour façades.

Yep, the bus stop should be moved up to the school, but Starbucks’ employees especially condoning—or at the least, facilitating—their behavior is also to blame.

I don't think it's outrageous to expect that a business owner maybe understand the area where his business is located and not put his foot in his mouth by using a term that, at best, has racist connotations, and at worst, is the exact name that the people who didn't like Jews came up with to describe the place where they deserved to live.
