Yep. I see disability lawsuits against this store in the near future.

Me too. Also all the stores here still have seating and I don’t see bums hanging around in any of the stores. I know they roust them out for sleeping.

So, I guess this one doesn’t have free Wifi, either? Didn’t know there were Starbucks that were mostly take away.

I don't mind the taste of "burnt coffee" especially when it is super hot and black as can be.

In matters of taste there is no right or wrong.

“I would rather get a cup of coffee from a gas station than Starbucks overpriced nasty crud.”

Circle K has very good coffee. I even like McDonald’s coffee. I recently had an excellent cup at Dunkin’ Donuts. Good coffee is not rocket science and you can get it anywhere for prices as low as .89.

I used to buy some of Starbuck’s products when they were on sale at Costco. But, I don’t like their politics so I no longer buy their products. (Or, go into Target or Penny’s.)

Are you sure the pictures are from the same store? The flooring is different.

In North Carolina, Hardees has the retiree crowd sewed up for early to mid mornings. It doesn’t hurt they honor Military ID/Retiree/Family Member ID cards holders with a 10% discount; coupled with the Old Hardees Mug that is no longer available but is good for free coffee for life... well you get the picture, these places always have a pleasant crowd.

Plus liberals and their mentally ill gender-challenged ilk perform live homosexual acts on the picnic tables nationwide.

McDonald’s corporate policy to brew a fresh pot upon request by a customer.

When they had tables, it looks like about 85% of the patrons were light skinned; no tables, 100% black.

Same here and the one in our small town solved the homeless problem by taking out their comfy sofas and chairs and putting in those horrible tall tables. Certainly not customer friendly, but definitely solved the problem.

The best coffee that I have had is in Orlando area Racetrak convenience stores. Billed as “crazy good coffee,” special machines grind and process coffee beans on touch screen command by customers. The result is coffee with the volatile flavor compounds that otherwise quickly disperse after grinding. And no Leftist politics or barista with an earring!

No wonder they’re’shitting in the streets.

Restrooms are hard to maintain when so many people today are trash.

This one doesn't have a public bathroom either. 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.

In my state (TX) you have to have restroom facilities if you are going to serve food and drink. Of course, we also have the right to run off vagrants.

The little tables on the wall are still suitable for person to roll up to with a wheelchair, so I think it is ADA compliant.
