/r/starbucksbaristas: "we're so tired of homeless people overdosing in our stores". Also /r/starbucksbaristas "noo you can't ban homeless people from our stores, they're people too The new Starbucks CEO announced that Starbucks isn't a free hangout space anymore. That means you can only be in a Starbucks if you pay for something. This stops homeless people from living in a Starbucks and getting:
Free water
Free restrooms
Free all-day hangout space
A common complaint on /r/starbucksbaristas is that the staff are tired of having to deal with homeless people - they spend all day in the stores, lock themselves in the bathroom for hours at a time while shooting up, and they often have to call the police. For example:
we STILL get annoying incidents, because our DM told us we cannot deny the bathroom to anyone unless in extreme situations. so even when a homeless person wants the restroom, we have to let them in, and most of them take anywhere from 40 mins to an hour in the restroom and it's our only restroom. so partners AND other customers are stuck waiting. we've had to call the police multiple times because they refuse to come out or are doing hard drugs inside. someone has left needles in there before. it's a weird situation.
So you'd assume that there would be unanimous happiness at this news? You're wrong! The thread is 99% against this change.
water is a human right and the private company that I work for must supply it for free!
The third place is a concept for paying customers, it's not a social club for the homeless.
Banning homeless people from keeping pets is the right option here.
I'm not going to sit in a Starbucks if there's a 
in the corner.
I'm waiting for the lawsuits!
lol no it's about making Starbucks a decent place to be a customer again.
I'd give anything to not be shadowbanned on /r/starbucksbaristas anymore. These guys piss me off so much.

I hate this r-slur commie argument. Housings a human right, why don't you let the bum in your house? Presumably since food is a human right restaurant should just give food to anyone who asks for free? R-SLURS

They act as if theres no middle ground here either. You can in fact give a bum a free cup of water and tell him he has to gtfo the store as soon as he gets it. Good on corporate for the change tbh, I certainly wouldnt want to sit in a shithole like starbucks surrounded by bums

I love that they're deathly afraid of telling the "nice, wholesome homeless men" at their stores that their free water and bathrooms are cut off. I guess they won't be so nice and heckin' wholesome when they leap over the counter and stab your neck because you destroyed probably their last safe haven in life.

That's a dumb opinion. A pet is the closest thing to a responsibility a homeless can have. Denying them that will just increase the "fit male with no stake in society or self preservation" share that causes problems.

They probably won't get fired unless they're too half and half selective. This is probably functionally giving them a less kitty directive to homeless profile away the ODs and truly indigent.

honestly stopped going
to starbucks 
because the employees fricking 
suck. there's a clear difference 
in quality 
when I grab a coffee 
through the drive 
thru (where they can see my car that I'm driving) vs when I send someone else to grab it in store. I've found 
hair in my drinks, they frequently don't heat up my muffins, and they don't fully attach the lid so my drink 
spills all over the car (thankfully hasn't happened yet).
