Woke is dying and you love to see it.
Global coffee chain Starbucks announced that, after nearly seven years, it would be ending its "open door" policy and instead require visitors to make purchases if they want to remain in the stores or use the bathrooms.
From CBS News:
The new rules reverse an open-door policy put in place in 2018, after two Black men were arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks where they had gone for a business meeting. The incident at that individual store, which had a policy of asking non-paying customers to leave, was caught on video and was a major embarrassment for the company.
That's not the full story. Even now, the hacks at CBS News are lying to you. This "business meeting" between two guys in sweatshirts involved them refusing to buy anything when told about the bathroom policy ... and then they refused to leave when asked.
The incident sparked nationwide conversations because the media was leaning really hard into the "America is racist" grift.
Consider the following two videos from the time:
Starbucks quickly bowed to the woke mob and said anyone could just come off the streets and shoot up fentanyl in use the restrooms.
Over the next few years, following the rising crime of the BLM riots, Starbucks was forced to close locations in major U.S. cities because they were now too dangerous (customers don't like drinking fancy coffee next to crazy homeless addicts).
"America has become unsafe": Starbucks CEO explains closing 16 stores in major cities, says "there are gonna be many more" Honestly, it sounds like Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has been reading Jesse James here on NTB.

They went woke and were going broke, so Starbucks had to come back to reality.
Tweakers and vagrants throughout North America should be advised that they will now have to pony up for a grande vanilla caramel macchiato if they want to go blow up the bathroom!
Too bad. It’s my favorite place to bathe and wash my underwear.
The free use of the bathroom bought them some time. People going in to shoot up got to be too much so they ‘quietly’ go back to the old ways especially now that there is a business-friendly administration coming in.

Still not going in there.
Never been in one.
Strangely enough, rewarding inappropriate behavior beings about more inappropriate behavior. Starbucls is doing the business version of the broken windows approach to crime control. Good for them.
With all the money donated to the "Homeless Industrial Complex' public bathrooms could be on every street corner in the United States. It's time to raise the costs of being homeless.
