A woman who reported that a man was taking photos of her daughter Tuesday at a Montgomery County Starbucks said an employee told her the store could not ask the man to leave. The woman, who did not want to be identified, told NBC10 that the employee at the coffee shop in East Norriton Township allegedly said the man had "been here all week doing this but we can’t ask him to leave." The employee may have been referring to Starbucks' new "Third Place Policy," which encourages employees to allow people to "gather" and "connect," but also lays out guidelines for how customers should behave.

“Who in their right mind brings a daughter to Starbucks???? “
Lots of people,so what!
.
‘Becoming Color Brave.’
These douches can’t even conceive of what douches they really are, LOL!
... oh, come on!
I LOVE that book.
Starbucks, the new hangout for Pedo’s.
“Take photos of the man and of the employee and post them on Instagram and Facebook.”
Exactly. Exposure is devastating in the internet age.
I need to read it again; my last dissection of Moby Dick was in 1977. ;)
Can you imagine any ‘Book Club’ taking it on these days?
I need to form a local Book Club that actually reads, digests, explores and comes to understand a book, versus the ‘Wine Book Clubs’ so many belong to these days. ;)
(Not that there’s anything WRONG with that...)
I’ve read it 6-7 times already. Actually, one does not “read” “Moby Dick”
You “Sign on” and it just takes you.
WADDA bunch of p.c. baloney! It’s a damn cup of coffee.
I HATE open water; I’m OK as long as I can see the shore.
Probably why I haven’t been back. ;)
LOL...I hear you.
Who in their right mind brings anyone anywhere????
Who even exists?????
For as long as I can remember, you could walk into any McDonalds' anywhere in the world and use their restrooms without purchasing anything.
How did they manage?
It could be a “street photographer” doing his thing, quite innocently. The art form of Cartier-Bresson, check him out.
And he did a lot of work in cafes.
Still very popular.
Granted the modern world is much less innocent than when Cartier-Bresson was wandering around with his Leica.
...This policy may well cause unintended consequences...
Liberal policies are always loaded with unintended consequences. That’s why they are dangerous and not well thought out.
“Ground Rules”
I thought the only grounds rule at Starbucks was: char them.
“Reminds me of the bum who stunk up a library somewhere in central NJ a few years ago. As I recall, the courts held that he couldn’t be removed, even though his offensive body odors drove other library patrons away. Such a country...”
I was at our local public library years ago and a man had porn pulled up on one of the library computers and was rubbing his crotch while scrolling through pictures. I complained to the librarian and she said it was his 1st Amendment right to do that. The world has gone crazy indeed!
That was In Morristown and he sued and won $40,000. Then he said the first thing he was going to do was go on vacation. He eventually went back to the library if I recall correctly. Think he went to Disneyworld.
