Hospitals who are holding patients against their will, denying them treatments, and denying them visitors, killing them with rendesivir and ventilators. Hmmm...what response would you suggest?

FoxNews said earlier Starbucks was closing stores in Seattle - the city where they stated.

Guess having drug addicted violent homeless bums in their bathrooms is 'discouraging' customers. And that's not counting the robberies...Liberal ideas created this disgusting mess.

Are there ANY democrat cities that aren't hellholes?

I have to assume the white liberal elites who live in these hellholes - hellholes of their making - do so behind the gates of their secure neighborhoods. Disgusting on so many levels.

I heard “some customers” were American Indians who Starbucks claimed were stealing. As the Starbucks attorney reportedly said, “they were all caught red handed”.

"...and many of these restrooms now require a code that you must get from an employee."

Some still do it the old fashioned way...

I noticed the Starbucks in the Target I go to has just recently redesigned their interior - there is NO seating in there now.

Where are the homeless and drug addicts gonna go to crap and pee along with just kicking it back inside their Restaurant?

In Los Angeles and San Francisco on the sidewalks.

They don't even bother going into the nearest Starbucks, why should they? Too much effort!

Los Angeles tried putting port-a-potties in homeless areas but the prostitutes took them over for their trade.

If you must have Starbucks coffee, you can get sit down service in stores like Target, Barnes and Noble, grocery stores, mall food courts, etc. Those locations can deal with problem people rather than Starbucks Corporation. All this pretty much ruins Starbucks’s “third place” business model, but they have to adapt to the society around them.

Promote racial equality by capitalizing “Black” but not “white.”

Oh, no! That’s going to create urban coffee deserts. They must not be allowed to close shop in those “underserved communities”.

I remember when Starbucks self-righteously opened their restrooms to the general public because of some dust-up with POCs in Philadelphia, only to REDISCOVER that people of no account will use public bathrooms to shoot up, have sex, miss their aim at the toilet, steal toilet paper and towels, vandalize, sell drugs, molest women or children, break the fixtures, gouge graffiti into the doors, fail to wash their hands....

Many stores have a “customers only” policy for their restrooms, and many of these restrooms now require a code that you must get from an employee.

That's what Starbucks used to have. Until some individuals demanded they go woke because racism.

“Like so much of the world right now, the Starbucks business as it is built today is not set up to fully satisfy the evolving behaviors, needs and expectations of our partners or customers,” Mr. Schultz wrote in a letter to employees Monday.
