This quote from him shows his delusion, though
"Instead of the manager supporting me ... instead of saying... 'I'm not going to take your order until you move your car,' she [the manager] would take care of them [the customers] and then tell me to leave them alone," he said.
You honestly expect a store to demand that a customer prove they're handicap and refuse service until they do?
Thank you for brining this up. I know from my experience working with the public that you, as a representative of an organization/brand/business should never challenge a person to "prove" that he/she is disabled...even when your "simply a d-bag" senses are tingling.

I'll agree the public's perception is rarely based in reality, but you'd have a hard time convincing a sane person that overpriced burned coffee leads to parking deviance!

If the guy parked in the handicapped space made a scene, then ban him which would most likely gained more customers.
I could be wrong, but the public is a fickle crowd and Starbucks will come out looking bad because of this.
Screaming? According to what I read, the man was polite, and never raised his voice. You haven't actually read any of the articles, have you?
RE: Way to go, Starbucks.. - SunsetBengal - 07-27-2015
While the man may not have any legal grounds to fight the permaban from Starbucks, he is at least succeeding in drawing attention to a problem. So much of society today is obsessed with social justice and such, and here is a situation where patrons of a business are so bent on getting their comfort product, as quickly and conveniently as possible, that they routinely prohibit handicapped folks of being able to achieve the same, by taking their legally designated parking spot.

According to Starbucks he "became confrontational", "disrupted business", and "threatened and harassed customers".
Don't know if he raised his voice, but nothing says he was polite in any way.

Actually, the quote is from Homer being envious of an elderly man whilst hiding out at the retirement castle for reasons I can recall.

I have no sympathy for a healthy person who takes a handicapped parking spot, but it has to be handled in the proper manner.
Starbucks can't hve hotheads handing out vigilante justice in their stores.
I agree. And banned from Starbucks....oh no, whatever shall I do? lol

Actually, now that I think of it it may have been a guy on a ventilator and Homer saying something about using his lungs like a sucker.

For some reason, I thought of Futurama, where Bender sold his body and his head was wheeling around on an RC car.
