Starbucks Says Anyone Can Now Sit In Its Cafes -- Even Without Buying Anything
Dominique Mosbergen,HuffPost
Starbucks announced a new policy of inclusivity on Saturday that will permit anyone to sit in its cafes or use the stores’ restrooms, regardless of whether they’ve bought anything, The Associated Press reported.
The move comes weeks after one of the coffee chain’s stores in Philadelphia incited outrage for calling the police on two black men who had not made a purchase while they waited for a friend to arrive.
“We are committed to creating a culture of warmth and belonging where everyone is welcome,” the company said in a statement.

ppl have been doing it forever already - the inner city starbucks are sketch at times

I can see Starbucks in Philly being a hang out for the homeless and the street corner hoods. They will have to close down once paying customers stop coming.
-
I have sat in many Starbucks without buying anything and never encountered any problems.

So have most people, but managers were able to have people removed if they chose to.

This! It will cease being a cool place to hang out. And it's the paying customers that will be leaving.
-

Strange.
You would think they would have adopted a policy across all Starbucks in order to avoid confusion. I mean, you run into problems when certain people are asked to leave and others aren't. From a business perspective, it doesn't seem like a very good model to endorse.
-
Soon people will start to refuse leaving the cafe at closing time and they wont dare to kick the minorities out leading to the stores being taken.
-

do you just sit there staring at people?
-
No one is going to go to Starbucks just to hang out. Some may in that area just to prove a point but that won't last very long since most of these type of people don't have much of an attention span.
-
I highly doubt much will change. Homeless and uneducated people won't even know about this new change as I doubt they pick up a newspaper or browse the internet to find out about such groundbreaking things.

When the cops are told to stand down in a city. The criminals aren't given a memo. They just observe the diminished police presence.

Obviously many of you don't have the homeless problem we have here in La...Same homeless guy at Same Starbucks every day with...filthy bags...cans..papers...re fuses to shower in one of the MANY free homeless services facilities in La that offer cleanliness packages of deoderant, toothpaste etc available to Anyone...same guy takes up ENTIRE outside seating at upscale Starbucks...for HOURS AND HOURS every day...filthy shit strewn everywhere...Other homeless have started joining him..of course no one buying anything...
Sorry to politically correct people..I know the liberal fantasy......most homeless are laid off Engineers and Programmers dealt a nasty blow by economy....never drink alcohol..blah..blah...bu t the stench and inconvenience really sucks for working class people like me that enjoy sitting outside once in a while for coffee.

Sounds like this was a problem before the policy change. If the guy stinks they have the option to ask him to leave.

This^^^ Recently spent a week in San Francisco downtown at a trade show. About 2 blocks from the convention center the human debris started. People passed out on sidewalks, camping out on corners, urine everywhere and the occasional guy puking on the sidewalk. The cops obviously kick people out of downtown to keep the appearances up but not far ways it's the real SFO.
-
Will they seriously let homeless people just hang out all day now? What the fuck? Every great empire must fall and this is will force them to fold if they keep it up.
-
Getting my business cards printed now and moving my office stuff in!!
Going to be great to not have to pay to rent an office any more!!
Thank you Sbucks!
-
Starbucks should leave their doors open to everyone 24/7. It is hurtful to ask people to leave at 'closing times' which are only social constructs anyway.
-
This is good. Maybe next up is a free cup of their overpriced coffee and a sandwich
-
Should have the annual getbig meetup there now that Vince doesn't have the problem of being kicked out again
-
lol... now they Starbucks will be overcrowded by homless people and bums.. this will run of their customer base causing them to lose money...i can give two shits since i never go there... it is a liberal company and they have pushed their liberal bs in the past..ie: Christmas etc.... let them rot

This is where liberal theory meets reality. It should be interesting to watch this unfold.
-
So, if there are no seats, paying customers have to stand while non customers get to sit.
Yup, makes perfect sense.
-
Hobos welcome! 🙄

Cool! 8,000 new homeless shelters just opened!

Simple solution: 1 way ticket to Sweden or Germany , if they take arabs/afros they will accept American refugees too ;)

10 years from now...
"man... I remember when Starbucks homeless shelters and free office space used to sell coffee"

No, he sponges the free wifi to post on Getbig...duh.
I wonder if Starbucks restrooms are as dirty as Chipotle...hipsters are too good to clean.

Its just a communication scheme, they will wait a bit and resume to the normal policy.

I am sure starbucks are so pure and holy that they are willing to go bankrupt for the values they so genuinely espouse.
We need to respect them for this!

Anyone who claims to be a christian cannot know god without having cosmic consciousness. If they still have personal desires they are fakes.
-
I've never seen a drug baby at Dunkin Doughnuts.
-
If they still have personal desires they are fakes.
there r very few actual christians on earth, fewer who understand what being a christian means and no one outside of the terribly desperate, or the terribly intelligent really chooses god... often times god grabs u by the neck and yanks your ass into reality of his own volition. tis a painful process
these individuals, due to divine illumination, do come to the point of giving up their own life and taking up gods work 4 the duration, during which, they find great joy in the challenge, and earthly pleasures rightly become absurd in comparison
-
I don't understand Starbucks.
The people who run it surely want to make money more than they want to virtue signal and in their Seattle bubble they must think this new policy will ultimately be a commercial positive. ::)

Agreed.

You need to explain this answer in depth please. The new testament apostle were all full of personal desires.
-
What is our country coming to? God forbid people make a profit and want a place thats clean without being exposed to criminals, drug addicts, etc.
-

Um, no. It's only when those personal desires become paramount that they become problems.
-
^ All right! A good old-fashioned "Christian-off"!
-
To a certain extent, I agree with Starbucks.
It makes sense to open up their business to the public. It would likely increase customer flow.

It's always hilarious when the fake "bleeding hearts" chime in to take a shot at Christianity when this is nothing to do with it. Starbucks is a liberal company and I guaranty when the CEO thought this was a good idea, the last thing on his mind was "what would Jesus do"........well, this ain't it because now you're putting at risk those who are trying to make ends meet as opposed to those who are looking for a handout. Spare me with your bullshit.

My comment was in response to "Liberalism is a mental desease". It's an asinine statement as there are many who consider themselves conservative that are liberal in many areas. It's just a divisive attitude that is part of the problem with our government and our nation. That Bill is a Republican must mean he is a low IQ redneck that hates minorities is no different than thinking well Bob is a liberal, he is mentally unsound. Jesus would be considered mentally ill if that were the case.

Liberals despise the Nazarene and his teachings because they convict them of what they are. Whited sepulchers. The only time a libtard quotes the Word is when they feeeeeel it aids them in belittling those that do their best to follow the Word. Typical idiots that feel instead of think.
Starbucks is one such modern chain of whited sepulchers. All nice and clean looking on the outside but inside filled with decay and deceit. To that you may now add stinky, unwashed, unkempt and uncivilized filth mongers.
The owners of Starbucks are like a great many churches in that the money-changers no longer need stand outside the temple because they own it. What is it the Christ taught regarding a house divided cannot stand? It will be brought down from within. It is guaranteed that libbies won't go to a place turgid with smelly folk but you bet they will protest others not supporting Starbucks because of their new policy regarding the residentially (and hygienically) challenged.
With milk, the crème rises to the top. With stagnant water, it is the slime that does so. Starbucks is about to become a stagnant, fetid, pond by it's own doing.

1. they sell the paper version of the WSJ = awesome

Fox News host Laura Ingraham furthered a 4chan hoax on her show this week when she played a video of a black man demanding free coffee at Starbucks, after the chain said it was closing some branches next month for racial-sensitivity training.
Trolls on the message board 4chan attempted to enter the controversy earlier this week, forging vouchers pretending to offer free coffee for people of color. The hoax made it onto Ingraham’s television show “The Ingraham Angle” within day of taking off on 4chan.

Not sure I follow, if you want union with god you have to act like Jesus. It's evolution of self-consciousness into cosmic consciousness
it's not for everyone man.
I'm not a christian ftr.

I didn’t anything was going to happen right away. I’m looking at now on my IBD app. If it keeps up that story (or several more like it) it’s going to piss off investors. Most that go into a Starbucks can afford too, if they keep seeing filthy, smelly bathrooms with syringes and beggars out side asking for handouts, they’ll look elsewhere. I personally like Peetes

no.
Yes son, you have to have ego death. Look up kenosis.

the only thing i would go into starbucks for is to take a shit and not even flush it
millennial's think it is cool to spend 5 to 7 bucks on a coffee and think about whose dick they will have to suck to pay the rent that month :)
-

I like how you think.
The next time I’m out and about and feeling like a monolithic shit is brewing, I’ll try my best to locate a Starbucks.
Really wreck the place.
:D

i never go to Starbucks. Seeing their "pussy" reaction i hope they crash and burn.
