I went into a coffee shop last week to have a cup of coffee and do some work. When I asked for the wifi password they told me it was “buysomething.” Eff Starbucks!

Well, this is just not good enough. Starbucks is heartless. They are going to let people who cannot afford to purchase their over-priced swill sit there with nothing?! If they had an actual social conscience, they would be offering free coffee to these downtrodden members of society. What kind of social justice warriors are they!?

Let's face it. A lot of people were already sitting in Starbucks and not buying anything. A few months ago, long before the racism row, I had to kill a few hours in an unfamiliar area. I had my laptop, so I went into a Starbucks and did some work for a couple hours. Didn't buy a damned thing. Didn't pretend to even be interested in buying a damned thing. No one bothered me. In fact, a customer saw me fumbling around with my computer's charging cord and offered me the use of an extension cord. White male privilege, I guess. LOL.

Nonetheless, I think that they're making a foolish mistake to publicize this new 'non-customers are welcome' policy. In many cities with homeless/vagrancy problems, this policy is going to encourage flotsam and jetsam to make Starbucks their own special place.

New Starbucks policy: No purchase needed to sit in cafes

I'm going you one better, guys.
After 12 years, I will not be visiting in the future.
If I enjoyed living dangerously, I never would have started regular visits to Starbucks in the first place.

Good luck to your bathrooms cleaning crew...

Great idea, but I demand off-street parking for my car, truck, and two trailers.

Screw Starbucks!

This is a true story.

I had to go to San Francisco for a conference at Microsoft’s downtown offices.

I was staying at a hotel just off of Union Square.

The hotel bragged that they had a door inside that went into a Starbucks.

In the morning when I got up, I went thru the door to get some wakeup juice, and the line was stretching OUTSIDE their main door, filled with Millenials getting their morning must-have.

I said, screw this and got a large at the Jack in the Box next store. Fine coffee, and only a buck!

Right across from Microsoft’s main offices, the Kuerig company was having a huge promotion for their new product (this was in October of 2011). All the coffee you wanted with all the fixings. Went on all week.

Again, Ska-rew Starbucks!

I hope all those street-sh1tt1ng, pull-it-out-and-wiz-right-there-in-front-of-everybody, smelly homeless make Starbucks that their home!

“...leaving decisions on whether people could sit in its stores or use the restroom up to store managers”
That means that the woman manager was fired unfairly. The decision was up to her, but it wasn’t. She was fired without recourse, then trashed by savage internet denizens.
The boss man said it. I’m holding him to his word. He fired the woman unfairly. Woman, are you going to sue his a$$ off?

BWAHAHAHAHA, this policy might last a month, and then after the outroar from customers having to sit next to smelly, dirty bums, Starbucks will “reevaluate’ the policy, and then ALL HELL breaks loose from the SJW’s, BWAHAHAHA!

I hope all their profits get eaten up by plumbing costs and toilet paper.

Sweet. Those places will become the new public libraries for homeless and hobos.

No one with expendable income will want to go.
