I can still go in the bathroom to wash my underwear in the sink.
NYC is not public-bathroom friendly. The nearest publicly available bathrooms I'm aware of in my area are over at Grand Central and they are nasty as hell.
H’mmmm, without chairs where will those who have disabilities that keep them from standing for prolonged periods be served and permitted to consume their coffee?
This one doesn’t have a public bathroom either.
...
Isn’t that racist?
If they just served Covfefe, things would be peachy.
Have never been in a Starbucks but I know retired men hang out for morning kibitzing and pictured bigger tables to congregate around. Maybe different areas - different states have different setups?
Interesting. But it’s probably still a losing proposition. No seats means no bums. But it will also drive away customers who like to sit down and read the paper over a cup of coffee.
I wonder...are these Starbucks company stores, or are they locally owned? Because if I owned a local Starbucks store, I’d look into getting out of my contract and going independent.
I try to de-escalate every encounter with bums by directing them to two Starbucks within walking distance, assuring them they can take a table, go into their restrooms and take a bath or wash out their things. And if they’re black, telling them they can get free coffee and other race-card related stuff there.

If you require boint coffee (Jackie Mason) you havent had GOOD coffee.
Jackie Mason is right. Starbucks aint it.
I would rather get a cup of coffee from a gas station than Starbucks overpriced nasty crud. I would love to see all of them close.
Good idea. HOWEVER, just like Starbucks and the Coffee Bean I go to (they know me as a customer personally), the problem is the MENS ROOM.
The homeless use it even without buying. My Coffee Bean has the same issue—non paying customers use it. The Starbucks across SB I heard STOPPED giving away the MENS room CODE unless you show receipt.
No, ordering coffee black is racist.
My hero.
Liberals ruined the public parks by getting rid of vagrancy laws, loitering laws, and not letting cops roust bums off park benches and out of doorways.
Now liberals have moved their destruction to businesses — you can’t sit at a table and enjoy your (slightly burned) coffee.
What’s next on the liberal ruination program?
So because you dont like what they sell, you are a proponent of closing them down and putting thousands out of work. Are you a Berkeley college professor?
Traveling in Europe I don’t recall a free rest room anywhere inside a store or cafe.
Always had to pay about 50 cents to the washerwoman or attendant in the restroom. They sure were clean though.
Most places in Europe don’t understand “free,” like a free second cup of coffee, etc.
Exactly, that is the whole enchilada right there. I really don’t give a squat about the Starbucks/political/ PC crap, it isn’t worth any time of my day. When not at home and want a good cup of coffee I don’t go to Starbucks. They can sink or swim without me and that’s as far as it goes. That being said, if anyone enjoys Starbucks, go ahead with whatever makes you happy.
I like Starbucks. I don’t care what Freepers think I should think.
