/r/starbucksbaristas are still defending the homeless
TL;DR: Starbucks new CEO recently announced that Starbucks will stop giving away free water or bathroom access unless you purchase something. This is part of a wider scheme to make Starbucks a "third space" again - somewhere that paying customers actually want to hang out.
You'd think that the Starbucks staff would be happy about this because it would finally give them a way to defend themselves from the assorted homeless and drug addicts who practically live in the stores, overdosing in pottys and scaring off actual customers. Well you're wrong.
For some reason Starbucks employees are obsessed with the "no more free water for non-customers" part. They don't understand that this gives them a rule that they can use to deter homeless people while still giving free water out if they want to (because who's gonna know?).
How does that solve the problem of homeless people?
lmao watercuck "please boss can I have some water I'm thirsty" "no"
Your skeleton crew would have more free time if you hadn't converted your store into a homeless shelter.
If someone's setting up a full desk in your coffee shop and hasn't bought anything yet then you should absolutely tell them to buy a drink or frick off.
I'm definitely going to visit a coffee shop that acts as a social hub for the mentally unstable.
This situation will never happen because you won't try to charge an old man $2 for water. You'll give it to him for free unless he's homeless.

makes perfect sense in big traffic areas, just one means it'll get overcrowded and miss customers who decide its not worth the time, its basically load balancing.
!wagies , there's a magic sentence that works and guarantees the police don't complain, and its called
"you're banned from the property, please leave"
staying is trespassing, doesn't matter what the police care for or anything, they need to enact the law and its to remove someone whose trespassing from the premises.
And why care if it "wastes police time" or they look at you funny, you do your job they do theirs.

rip off lmao Mcdonald's is like 25 cents. Just enough to convince them to pay for a penny cup. Least I can say its
for a plastic tax 
and its a bit believable since cans are 10 cent deposit

I don't think the price of water has been announced yet, the $2 is probably made up.

I'm guessing the water is free as long as you don't smell like piss.
Starbucks is just giving the employees the option to deny homeless water

Assuming you're a manager, if you're not just dump it on them since a disorderly fit thrower is their job to deal with
