This has actually happened to me before
Also pre pandemic I'm in a fast food place - place my order and I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
Others (Read: White) placed their orders after me yet get their food before me, and it was like 3 or 4 people

As I'm sitting down eating (Angrily) the SAME EXACT THING happens to another black guy who comes in
Coincidence????

Starbucks is now apologizing to Ward after he was told to step outside of the coffee shop on Mckee Road in San Jose while he waited for his order to be made.

Ward provided a receipt to ABC7 News showing he was at the store and made the purchase March 15 at approximately 9:30 a.m.
Ward said a manager told him the store was at capacity per Santa Clara County's COVID restrictions so he had to leave.
