I guess “drain the lizard” is right out.

Sell your Starbucks stock now before the new policy hits quarterly earnings.

Starbucks stock is already down about 12% from its 52 week high.

Wait until regular customers get fed up with drinking their high priced coffee in a public toilet crowded with bums and tramps.

Word should get out to the homeless that they can now find a warm place and a bathroom without buying a thing

[utahagen]

That’s it!!! I’m telling my 11 year old son to say that from now on...

[flamberge]

The policy of groveling to political correctness will kill traffic at Starbucks.

Good riddance. They deserve it.

Good idea! Many cups, little driving ;-)

I’ve never understood the draw of Starbucks; I think a lot of people go there simply because it’s trendy, has wifi, and you can sit around a long time. My experience of their drinks hasn’t been impressive.

Not my ‘cuppa’. Like you, I can do all of that in more comfort at home.

(Pretty soon, every little burger joint or ‘Ma and Pa’ diner will have Wifi, anyway...even my grocery store does.)

And a private place to shoot up .... step carefully over the used needles.

What will you tell your daughter?

Happened to me at a Kroger the other day in an affluent part of Atlanta. A dirty bum was standing at the entrance asking every person walking in for money. I said something at customer service and they acted like I was the jerk and said he was “harmless”.

I give this 2 weeks in places like NYC, etc. The cops will probably make them stop. I read an article a while ago about how some fancy supermarkets have issues with the homeless camping out in their ‘cafe’ areas. But the thing is that’s away from the main shopping area. In Starbucks it’s the whole business, sitting there.

It’ll be nothing but addicts and crazy people, you can’t run a store in NY and not be able to throw those people out. There’s tons of them and they are all nuts.

Good luck starbucks, you are run by MORONS.

And I have mistakenly assumed a customer was someone who purchased something at a business.

[leaning conservative]

Perfectly stated.

[hal ogen]

Dearest LIBS : Embrace the suck.

[utahagen]

I don’t have a daughter.

[Jamestown1630]

I’m sorry. I had intended to respond to the one who suggested, ‘Drain the Lizard’ ;-)

[Covenantor]

What should Starbucks employees do in preparation for May 29?

Cash out their 401K plans, especially if the plan is Starbucks stock heavy...in preparation for becoming homeless themselves.

[UCANSEE2]

I said something at customer service and they acted like I was the jerk and said he was “harmless”.

Next time, tell customer service that you are going to do some shopping and you need them to GIVE YOU some cash.

[tbw2]

Dunkin Donuts cheers their move.
