What kind of a public store or restaurant refuses to allow people to use the restroom, anyway? Nobody wants to use a public restroom unless they absolutely HAVE to. At my age, I don’t always get much warning before I need a visit to the restroom, and if I’m away from home, I’m going to hit the closest one, and woe betide me, if I don’t get there in time. Businesses that are open to the public should NOT restrict the use of their bathroom to those who need it. It’s just a part of serving the public. I don’t shop at Starbucks; their uppity atmosphere and leftist politics doesn’t appeal to me, but if, in an emergency, I had to use the restroom, and there wasn’t a closer one, I would use theirs. But only if I had no other choice. And I wouldn’t feel like I had to BUY anything. I do, however, understand them not wanting loitering, but waiting for a friend or associate, is not loitering.

I might stop in a Starbucks on my way home. I’m sure I could muster a mighty Obama that would sufficiently wreck that restroom.

And just remember to NOT flush.

I’m watching this and enjoying it. This ought to work well in San Franfreako. The homeless will come in and stay. On cold nights, the baristas will not be able to put them out in the street. If a White barista calls the police, she will be fired.

It will become very hard to find anyone willing to work under those conditions.

I’m enjoying watching starbucks put themselves out of business. The only way a business can work is if it has free market rules to operate in, and if its people are productive and can enjoy the benefits of their productivity.

I never go to Star Bucks for anything. The few times I have been to one for a regular coffee it was horrible. I can’t understand why their coffee is so bad. McDonald’s is a lot better and cheaper.

This Schultz guy is a real liberal tool.

He's a cross between a bed-wetter and a pearl-clutcher.

Biggest bunch of bunk I've ever heard.

How does the CEO of a major corporation reduce himself to playing a middle-schooler SJW?

I don't drink coffee so I have never been to a Starbucks nor plan to in the future.

This is just one more reason to avoid it.

Starbucks will need to police the restrooms, to clean up after each homeless person takes their “sink-bath” in their establishment.

I’ll make it a point to visit them the next time I’m out and need to take a dump. Meanwhile, I’ll travel to the next block to buy Dunkin Donut coffee
