TL;DR (because OP wrote their rant as a single breathless paragraph): OP went to their local Starbucks to pick up their daily coffee. Another customer had an unleashed dog inside. OP demanded that the manager remove the dog because of "law, company policy and common decency", the manager ignored her, and so OP decided to start an argument with the dog owner and was then promptly escorted from the premises and banned.
The top minds of /r/starbucks are all defending OP and suggesting next steps:
How about having the dog destroyed?
Some fantastic misconceptions about what is and isn't allowed to happen on public property:
Apparently you can't just be banned from private property:
No actually that is not true, at least in the Bay Area.
And the most ridiculous comment of all, believing that Starbucks is public property:
wtaf. this really angers me. you can speak to anyone in public if you so desire. starbucks does not get to decide who you can and can't speak to.
I'm waiting for a Redditor to mention that this falls under FBI Tree Law or Postal Law and that the manager can be imprisoned for life without parole.
The saddest part? OP is going to need some time to get over it because:
I love my local starbucks, I go daily. It's part of my routine and my life... I have ptsd and getting kicked out and banned from a coffee shop that is part of my daily routine that keeps me grounded had a pretty negative effect on my mental health this morning.
EDIT: the jannies are rapidly cleaning it all up. I might not have long left on /r/starbucks. (EDIT 2: I have been permanently banned).
