Agreed that the store should have handled it better. You can't discrimate against a certain group outright (ie 'no students allowed') without causing an uproar. And justifiably so, imo.
They should have instead addressed the problem specifically as others have suggested. If they would have created a sign saying something along the lines of 'management reserves the right to enforce a $3 minimum per customer policy", then this would have been a non-issue and never made news in the first place.
