“Starbucks, the image of liberal gathering places, is getting eaten by the monster it helped create: the entitlement mentality.”

CEO’s have bowed to political correctness and shifted to funding Democrats and Democrat causes in order to avoid the negative publicity the social justice warriors in government, the media, and academia are able to unleash on targeted companies. What they have failed to realize is money and acquiescence doesn’t buy protection forever. Leftists are driven by the politics of the moment and even the most loyal sycophants will be sacrificed for the cause if doing so advances the cause. The economic cultural war of the left will ultimately consume all players.

This is the Country Club for the Masses. You buy a cup of Java and you associate with those patrons who to pay too much for their Java as well. Part of the price to keep out the riff-raff. If Starbucks raises their prices $3 a cup, it would still attract a certain clientele who almost exclusively sport Apple devices while lounging about. The ability to associate is somewhat dictated by the price, which forces your normal EBT card holders to McDonalds for a similar brew.

The Matter at Hand is Whether or Not Bathrooms are for only paying customers, and as well if a time limit (reasonable) can be set for actual patrons, as well as denying those loitering or occupying space which other customers might need or might yet shy away from if occupied by certain vagurants.
