A Starbucks in Philadelphia made headlines when a pair of black men were arrested after a manager called the police on them for loitering and refusing to leave. Months after the incident sparked outrage, Starbucks settled with Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson for $200,000.
In addition to the payout, the coffee giant announced it would implement racial sensitivity training to ensure that minority customers were never discriminated against. However, some have argued that the corporation has gone too far in the other direction by treating its white employees unfairly.
Just weeks after the men’s arrest, Starbucks regional manager Shannon Phillips was told that she must suspend Ben Trinsey, a white district manager in Philadelphia, over “allegations of race discrimination,” Heavy reports. Phillips questioned the decision, explaining that Trinsey was “not racist and that she had never observed any race discriminatory comments or conduct” by him. She also reminded them that he was a volunteer for YouthBuild Philadelphia, which is a program that serves local black students.
Phillips claims that her supervisors accused Trinsey of paying his non-white managers less than their white colleagues, which she argued was “factually impossible” since district managers had no role in deciding salaries. The next day, Phillips was terminated without explanation and was only told that “the situation was not recoverable,” according to The Philadelphia Tribune.
