Wonder if Starpukes will start charging admission to see the Homeless on display?

Yep, Starbucks just became a homeless shelter. If I’m a paying customer and cannot get into the bathroom because vagrants are tying it up, I’m going to be pissed, pun intended.

Must be a Seattle based company. :)

My daughter lives in Ballard. The homeless situation there is disgusting. She and her husband are visiting us right now. They are with my wife in Louisville suburbs looking for a home. Yep, They are outa there.

Good point. That makes it even worse. I wonder if Schulz thought about being sued for endangering customers by allowing people with highly communicable diseases to use the bathrooms.

Great, all the progressives and the bums can go to Starbucks. They can all sing kumbaya in the dirty bathrooms.

I’ll grab a great coffee at half the price at my local diner / coffee shop and support my community.

Virtue signalling sometimes comes with a price. If I were a local, I’d make it a point to stop by regularly.

To drop something off.

And it’s not “free”, is it, Howie?

Your customers are paying for it.

Couple problems here.

First, non-paying customers tend to be, umm, not the most hygenic, even to the point of disgusting ... Starbucks will be doing a lot more bathroom cleaning now ...

Plus, certain non-paying customers like to use the bathroom for non-bathroom activities, like hookers having sex, addicts shooting up or smoking crack, or just sleeping on the floor ... ask any 24-hr McDonalds owner in a big city about late-nite problems

All of which will be a BIG turnoff for those customers that actually pay ... has Starbucks actually thought this through??

Even when they have access to public bathrooms, you would be surprised by how often the homeless relieve themselves in places other than the bathroom.

Having some experience in the retail space, I just know what the average person does to a bathroom so I can only image what a homeless person would do to one. Bottom line: There won’t be usable Starbuck$ bathrooms.

What is it with this Howie Schultz guy? Is he some sort of fascist? I read the whole article, and there was not one mention of Starbucks giving out free coffee.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
