In my town, Starbucks is well-known as a “sophisticated”, leftist meeting place for the idle elites. This new policy will give progressives a sorely needed introduction to their screwy ideas about illegals, criminals, bums and drug users. I wonder how long it will take Starbucks to lose their Michelin rating and for their social networking customer base to abandon them?
Starbucks was a favorite place to meet a nice lady over coffee. My daughter and her husband signed their house closing documents over coffee there. Many people used Starbucks as a meeting place and a place to meet new people. With the riffraff squatters becoming the new normal, the normals will find another place to meet their social needs. A business used to have the right to deny service. That policy was for a purpose.
