"business partners Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson, both 23"

That's a helluva "business"! Can't even afford a cup of coffee. And not only is Starbucks their bathroom, it's their "corporate headquarters" too.

... and give the homeless free table space.

Because after all, what self-respecting liberal elitist tea-sipper doesn’t enjoy his $6 cup of overrated coffee, while rubbing elbows with a mentally ill, incontinent, disease-riddled drug addict with a criminal record, who hasn’t had a shower since he was paroled, and who’s begging him for spare change?

This ranks right up there with the other three monumentally disastrous hair-brained ideas: Ford’s “Edsel,” Coca-Cola’s “New Coke” and Target’s “Transgender Restrooms.” I can’t wait to see their stock circle the drain!

“That’s a helluva “business”! Can’t even afford a cup of coffee. And not only is Starbucks their bathroom, it’s their “corporate headquarters” too. “

I’m betting it’s prostitution, drugs, or MS 13 “support!” Howard Schultz is your “typical Liberal/Marxist Capo CEO.” If he lives in New York, he probably flies to Florida on election day to vote there too.

I’m thinking that you haven’t been to a Starbucks in a high homeless population area. Locked restrooms are very common, or at least have been until now.

Holy mackrel. So a place as busy as a Starbucks only has one-holers? So what the heck are over caffeinated customers supposed to do while they’re waiting for the homeless queue to get through? Wear Depends??

I hope all homeless people get this new policy from Starbucks and use it

I like that.

No, those urban hipster liberals are hypocrites and don’t want to sit next to a wino or druggie like the rest of us. They just think too much of themselves to admit it.

The only restrooms I can think of that require a code or key for use are those minimarts at gas stations off highway exits, usually the places with thick plexiglass protection around the cashier.

McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Dunkin Donuts, on and on . . . Do they they control access in this way? Not in my experience.

Why does Starbucks require a secret code to pee in the first place? Had it become an unpleasant issue in the past?

This isn’t over for the overpriced coffee shop. What’ll an SJW demands the “white bathroom fixtures” be changed out to reflect the diversity of the coffee shop’s non-paying demographic.

"We don't want to become a public bathroom..."

It will and you will regret this asinine policy. Trust me. Just think of a city bus depot or train station. "Public" is, overall, a nasty thing in the city.

“What were you doing at Starpukes?”

Using the restroom.

So by definition, Starbucks is rebranding as sh*tholes?

So they think people want to get their coffee from a public toilet?

Hey, they didn’t say I “had” to get it into the bowl.

Just wait until used needles start showing up in the bathrooms. Or, some fed up barista takes a picture of a cramped up bathroom before he quits and it goes viral. Or, sales drop dramatically in stores essentially taken over by no paying customers who hang out for hours, ruining the hip upscale image.
