Starbucks Ends 7 Year Experiment In "Open-Door Inclusivity"
You want to hang out? Use the bathroom?




Starbucks has announced that customers must now make a purchase to enjoy its spaces, including restrooms. On Monday, the company said it was reversing a policy that invited everyone into its stores. This shift marks the end of a seven-year experiment in open-door inclusivity and comes as the coffee giant struggles to address declining sales and safety concerns across its North American stores.

HA HA you stupid virtue signaling hypocritical leftist idiots! I hope every single Starbucks has to have the cops come and physically remove the scum they initially welcomed and that each and every removal goes viral. That would be GREAT for optics Big Grin

I've been to Starbucks twice. Went in got an overpriced, burnt, coffee; and never went back. Twice? First and last time all in one.

Does this mean they’re going to stop giving my daughter and her friends free stuff for hanging out there and studying?

You would think someone running a business to make money would have thought and practiced this from the get go. Who would have thought it would get used and abused?

Maybe the change will force the strange 20-something year old man who plays video games all day long at a nearby store to go back to his parents basement?

I do DoorDash and I am in Starbucks 5-6 times a day. I asked one of the “normal” managers if he would do a survey to see how many of the employees voted for Trump! He said “they won’t answer that”!

I actually like going there. It is very entertaining.
