Why The New Starbucks Bathroom Policy Is A STEAMING CUP OF FAIL [tr]
Daily Caller ^ | 05/15/2018 | Audrey Conklin

For the year I worked at Starbucks, my manager made it very clear to all the partners at our location that the store’s two bathrooms were for paying customers only.

*snip*

The issue was more than just cleanliness or comfort for paying customers; the main reason we weren’t allowed to let the homeless use our bathrooms was because my manager had seen multiple instances in which homeless people had gone into the bathrooms...

*snip*

...and then locked themselves inside for so long that we had to call the fire department.

But from my observation, this CEO Schultz guy is a bed-wetting, pearl-clutching liberal, less concerned about serving their customers and more concerned about not looking bad to his liberal friends.

Based on an interview with the Atlantic Council he did recently, let's just say he's got a 1,000-watt bulb in his virtue signalling beacon.

He is very happy with himself.

Let me suggest that "virtue" is not what is involved when a confused--but successful--neurotic decides to appropriate his customers loyalty for a bizarre social experiment.

Ego trips that appropriate others comfort for a bizarre reason--such as trying to marry a pretentious coffee shop to an upscale comfort station for non-cutomers, are ludicrous. The arrogant poseur behind the experiment, would be very hard put to point to anything virtuous in the arrangement.

The Starbucks restrooms will be exploited by the homeless, drug addicts and others turning them into filthy holes. I pity the Starbucks employees who will have to clean up the inevitable mess these freeloaders will leave behind.

“less concerned about serving their customers and more concerned about not looking bad to his liberal friends. “

and WAY less concerned about growth, profitability and his fiduciary responsibility to his shareholders ...

I’m thinking that you go to one in an area without a high homeless population. “Customer only” bathroom policies are quite common.

NJ Turnpike rest areas had Pay Toilets. A dime would let you into a stall to do your business.

My second day without Starbucks. Went to a French place in the morning and a kosher dairy place in the afternoon. Sampling the coffee and the food. They both close early. Maybe when Joe & The Juice opens it will be open late.
