At that point, they're trespassing, and the police can enforce their removal from the premises. So your question's assumption that they made a purchase appears to be incorrect. | |

| Apr 15, 2018 at 23:18 | comment | added | user4657 | The men appear to have been in the technical wrong, but if they had been white, do you really think they'd have been asked to leave, let alone trespassed and arrested? @user6726 | |
