As with toilets, so with the country.
If you let everyone in to come here and take what others have produced, pretty soon there is nothing for anyone.
(Except for the ruling elite, which has whatever it wants).
Must be a NYC thing, because I walked into a Starbucks the other morning and went to the bathroom and it wasn’t an issue.
I was at my department Christmas party last week. The office has two Starbuck’s within 100 yards so I knew that any gift cards for the exchange would be starbucks. I was right.
I chose a random gift and lucked out. No gift card.
I’m also the only one in the department that doesn’t work at the office, (Home and road) so I never have reason to go to Starbuck’s
Wait’ll SB reverses course and goes back to customer-only privies. The genie ain’t going back in THAT bottle.
I haven’t been in a Starbucks in 3 years!
Yes, remember having to wait in line to use a bathroom at one, that was dirtier than a truck stop in Tijuana
Just part of the reason I don’t go there anymore.
I’ve used Starbucks bathrooms all over and never had a problem. Even in upstate New York. So this must just be a New York City thing. NYC isn’t like the rest of the world
There was one Manhattan Starbucks that long before any controversy had restrooms that anyone who entered could obtain acess to. That was in part to the very large size and arrangement of the store, and how it was busy most of the time. If needed a key from the staff had ever been required, I think they just made it easier on the selves and left the restrooms unlocked.
They easily became what I thought was the most grossly dirty Starbucks restrooms.
The only change I later saw was they had reduced the restroom use to one for customers and one for employees only. On affect of that was it added to the wait time if you needed a restroom.
Still, the one remaining room was still not “hygenic” accept that the porcelean sink and toilet were replaced with all stainless steel units. Oh, but the toilet was often clogged because people could not depend on toilet paper being available and so they made sure to take Starbucks napkins to the restroom with them.
