The “Third Place Policy” maintains that employees should consider anyone who enters Starbucks space, including restrooms, cafes and patios, a customer “regardless of whether they make a purchase,” the company said in a statement.
In a Starbucks subreddit, people are voicing concerns that the new policy will lead to stores being filled with homeless people and drug users. One user who claims they work at a Chicago Starbucks wrote that a homeless person using the bathroom got into a fight with a customer and police requested to see the store policy before taking action.

“This is exactly the kind of behavior that I fear will drive all the regular customers away, at least from urban locations. Opposing racism is nice and all, but it is not the responsibility of Starbucks to resolve all urban problems at one location let alone turn its stores into homeless drop-in centers,” another user wrote in response.
On another thread debating the new policy, a Starbucks customer expressed similar concerns. “I can't see how this will work in urban areas with large homeless/mentally ill populations... I just worry about how many employees will be put in danger (or get fired) until this happens,” the user wrote.
Someone claiming to be an employee who works at a store in the loop in Chicago said they hate the new policy because the store bathrooms have turned into a hub for drug activity. “We haven’t been allowed to change our bathroom codes since April. So almost all the junkies and homeless people know the code now. About once a week we find needles, drug baggies, blood all over the toilet or walls,” the user wrote.

Where is the Simpsons laughing kid when you need him.
Heck; I like the coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts better anyway.
We’re all third world now.

What should Starbucks employees do in preparation for May 29?
What do you mean? It’s basic socialism in action. You’re the people who have to make it work.
You didn’t think the people running things would do that did you?
Why even lock the customers out of the bathrooms anymore?
NO ONE should have to ask for the key. Assume if the door is locked, someone has the can occupied.
This is going to go out of control.
The homeless and people from the facilities used to gather on a ledge outside a local theater near me. The theater had to put up railings to prevent this. They will gather anywhere they can. Once it starts, it’s going to grow, and then it’ll be even harder for Schulzie to quash it. He has made a big, big mistake.
He should visit some of his stores in neighborhoods like mine.
And the staff is having conniptions. I thought they care about their employees. They give them some health care and let them take breaks for things like college, and then they make them work in a drop-in center. It doesn’t compute.
Not writing anything new, but it only takes one time for a customer to have an unpleasant contact with a crazed homeless person in a business and that customer is lost forever. The homeless guy might be there the next day, but the customer won’t.
Doors are racist, just put a row of toilets along the wall and let everyone do their own thing
What can go wrong, when a food and beverage provider opens its doors and rest rooms to drug addicted and filthy homeless people.
One final ?.
Where do the servers and baristas wash their hands?
Most Starbucks stores are small.
Seating is limited.
Does not take a restaurant expert to
understand every seat occupied by
a non-purchase free loader takes away
from customers that purchase.
Starbucks will either see a dip in sales
or an increase in drive-thru business or take-outs.
Time will tell.
Someone should visit a Starbucks, read a penthouse magazine, then ask to use the Women’s restroom.
Just as we predicted.
What should Starbucks employees do in preparation for May 29?
1. Get a job at Dunkin Donuts. Or:
2. See your Family practice doc or clinic to get your Hep shots and other $hithole prevention shots.
Good luck!
