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.

Hello homeless, so long latte liberals.
Brilliant!
It is always amusing when a leftist entity is destroyed by the very leftism it championed. I have not been into a Starbuck’s in years. Even then, it was usually at a convention center or hotel where I was staying for a trade show. I certainly would not want to go in one after they become homeless hangouts.
What could go wrong
This will almost be worth a trip to San Francisco just to watch the festivities
Yeah thanks . . . NO.
Just want you want with your coffee, eh?
Socialist experiment begins. LoL bye Starbucks
This is going to be fun. White guilt has taken over this man’s mind. It’s going to be a public display of the foolishness of liberalism. Normal people, in their right minds, will stop going.
The homeless will go there, and I don’t blame them. The baristas will be deathly terrified of saying anything. The good baristas will quit. The single “gender” inclusive bathrooms will be filthy and Starbucks will go bankrupt.
I’m enjoying this. I hope you are too.
> the Los Angeles Metro system is already building the free showers... <
In theory that’s a good idea, a humane idea. But be ready for the onslaught of many new “residents”. Because if you build it, they will come.
Hahaha they’re going to have to start publishing a Starbucks poop map like San Francisco. That’ll do wonders for their business, hipsters wanting their triple-mocha-choka-yaya latte frappe having to step over icky people and poo. Rub their noses in it, this is what they advocate. This is the end result. Bravo, Starbucks. Whack ‘em over the head with reality.
.... I wonder if Starbucks ever even considered the liabilities, repercussions and effects on their customers by having smelly, unbathed, uncouth, possibly diseased “Homeless” hanging around their eating establishments?
Our local Safeway recently took out exterior tables and seats where customers could eat or drink on the premises because the homeless took them over.
The solution was either to roust them frequently or remove the tables, Guess which concept prevailed?
Take note Starbucks, your going down this rabbit hole soon.
“We don’t want to become a public bathroom”
ROTFLOL!
That’s what you just did you fool! Gonna drive away customers in droves having stinking, drug-addled, alcholic and brain-damaged bums hanging around INSIDE and taking over the bathrooms, using them shooting up, crapping, peeing, armpit showers, and shaving ...
No, I don't think so. Either Starbucks will change its policy or the moms with strollers and other paying customers will just stop coming.
I love when liberals get what they deserve.
I now have one less reason to go to Starbucks, bringing the total number of reasons up to 137.
> Yeah, that’ll make me go there.
If I ever want burned coffee and a dirty bathroom. <
Don’t forget the fights you’ll get into because some nut thinks you looked at him the wrong way.

starbucks soon may be drive through only!
This move won’t hurt them. Except in NYC, Los Angeles etc, Starbucks are only in ritzy areas where people have $4 for a cup of coffee.
