To drop something off.
The good news is, this stuff should work pretty well in a pump garden sprayer.

The ever well meaning Starbucks chairman, Howie Schultz, more terrified of bad publicity and claims of racism than anything in the world, has just announced a rather customer-unfriendly policy of opening Starbucks bathrooms (as well as table space) to all comers, including people who won't spring for a $4 cup of coffee. Speaking to the Atlantic Council, Schultz said:
"We don't want to become a public bathroom, but we're going to make the right decision a hundred percent of the time and give people the key," Schultz said, "because we don't want anyone at Starbucks to feel as if we are not giving access to you to the bathroom because you are less than."
Well, yes, you do, Howie. If you open the bathrooms to all comers, including non-paying customers, you're turning Starbucks into a public bathroom. The fact that Starbucks will be the only business with such a policy means that all of the homeless will concentrate in these outlets. Rival store-owners and social service agencies will actually direct the homeless to Starbucks outlets for the free services. Large groups will congregate, moms with strollers drinking lattes and buying their little ones apple sauce in packets will sit cheek to jowl with hardcore drug-addicted homeless and now entertain requests for spare change.
So is Starbucks prepared to corral its baristas into double-duty, non-stop bathroom cleaning from those who choose to camp out on its grounds? Schultz is not stupid and probably knows what he is doing. It's easy to lean on the baristas for more work in disgusting tasks such as cleaning up after the homeless when they already work extremely hard at making coffee. I can't see baristas being happy about this, so in any case, so look to unionization efforts to take hold, too.

Schultz is something else.
He helped sell the Sonics to Oklahoma City.
He obviously built and maintained SB into a global brand, but . . . . yeah.
QUERY:
How did Progressives manage to eliminate America’s population of bums. hobos, tramps, vagrants, vagabonds, derelicts,
drifters, transients, itinerants, good-for-nothings, ne’er-do-wells and regular old layabouts, idlers, loafers and slackers?
ANSWER:
They renamed them all “Homeless”.
Unbelievable! No better way than this to ruin business
What were you trying to do for them?
Is this the same CEO from 4 years ago? If so this guy really is stuck on stupid.
A large # of starbucks customers are women. Think they’re going to feel comfortable with homeless men hanging out at starbucks?
we’ve been to Starbucks just to go to the BR.....tried not to be obvious...
The CEO is over reacting, not considering the consequences of his actions, and thus is a complete moron.
The only well-maintained, clean rest rooms I’ve have ever been in were Chick Fil A’s.
I feel for the employees who are gonna have to clean these. Wonder if they’ll need special training and PPE?
They should give out free, clean needles as well. Yeah... that’s the ticket.
If I owe one of these stores, at least I will play classical music through my store while in business. Some of you know why. I wont explain it. Do your own research

Goodbye Starbucks and good riddance.
Interesting. They want people to pay 5 times more for a cup while listening to the baristas bs, all the while enjoying the company of the homeless world, of which they want to escape from for a few minutes. I guess I will just have to enjoy my cup on my patio...
If employees are going to be dealing with biohazards like dirty syringes, oh, boy, I hope Starbucks has the mother of all legal teams on retainer.
How long before the sinks in the free restrooms become homeless sink-baths and muslim foot-basins?
Heroin trash in the bathrooms and dirty homeless sleeping on the tables - that’ll bring in the paying customers. All for burnt coffee.
It was a JTPA IV-C program for homeless veterans. Find work for them or help them start a business. We housed them at the YMCA and installed a refrigerator and had a contractor provide two meals a day. About 30% were successful within the goals of the program, which is actually pretty good if you think about it. We had money to buy them work clothing, boots and whatever kind of tools they might need. Even set up one guy with his own wood-working business.
The coffee is yucky, expensive, can’t stand the losers that take tables and not buy anything, but camp out with their phones. I like McDonalds, lately. Oatmeal and good coffee for breakfast. Fish sandwich (delicious) for lunch. Or Chick Filet. You make decisions when travelling. I sure like the wonderful employees at Chick Filet....
