About once a week we find needles, drug baggies, blood all over the toilet or walls

Starbucks

who could have possibly foreseen this coming? :oyvey

Starbucks employees, customers express concern over new policy: 'I can't see how this will work'

Quote:
 
Starbucks announced a new policy Saturday that allows anyone to occupy the coffee shop or use the store’s facilities, even if they don’t buy anything, but many are left to wonder if it’ll have a negative impact.


Quote:
 
“This is exactly the kind of behavior that I fear will drive all the regular customers away, at least from urban locations. Opposing racism is nice and all, but it is not the responsibility of Starbucks to resolve all urban problems at one location let alone turn its stores into homeless drop-in centers,” another user wrote in response.


Quote:
 
Someone claiming to be an employee who works at a store in the loop in Chicago said they hate the new policy because the store bathrooms have turned into a hub for drug activity. “We haven’t been allowed to change our bathroom codes since April. So almost all the junkies and homeless people know the code now. About once a week we find needles, drug baggies, blood all over the toilet or walls,” the user wrote.

Too bad that one manager and those 2 cops way overreacted in that original situation, or this would not be happening now.

I would expect a revision in the policy soon, they can't alienate the paying customers to appease the dregs.

Again, never would have happened without the original ridiculous overreaction.

or Starbucks could have just said:

"We deeply regret this incident and want to make it clear: our bathrooms and premises are open to any customer of any race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, provided they have or intend to purchase a Starbucks product. We will ask anyone to leave that has not purchased a product or does not intend to, regardless of who they are, and we will make sure we try our very best to stick to that policy for all people."

I suspect something like that will be in the works and announced in the not too distant future.
