Third, if you don’t know where Rittenhouse Square is or more importantly what it is, then your comments are off base. It is one of the gems of Philadelphia (frankly, it’s Philly so consider that point). Some of the most exclusive and high priced homes in Philly are in this area.
These two were treated this way simply for being two black men in the wrong neighborhood. If you don’t get that, you need to get out of your white neighborhood and wake up to the double standard and profiling of minorities that still exists in our country.
Two classy dudes.

Are they all corp. owned or franchise? If they are franchised , then I suggest you spend your hard earned money, go out and buy one so everyone can just hang out there to exercise their corp. policy. I don't see any thing racist going on there. Just a manager throwing our two men because they were just taking up space and not spending anemone. I know racism exist in America. I still think its BS they pull the race card. All they had to do was "Hey, we will get a coupe cups of coffee" and be done with it. Why fight when 5 bucks will make everything go away? Hey, I aint no white boy just so you know (think like one and do what's right each and everytime)
