Starbucks declares free WiFi and bathroom for homeless

[SuburbanFarmer]

Unless they want the excuse to shut those down.

Despite the ridiculous rents, downtown Starbucks usually have lines out the door and down the street.

Not for long.

Their entire reason for being is to sell overpriced coffee, in an “exclusive” atmosphere. Fill it with street bums, and you no longer have a business.

Not to mention the homeless will help drag all kinds of disease vectors into the place. Once customers start finding syringes in the bathroom (or maybe even in the store), have smelly flea/lice ridden homeless sleeping at the tables, etc, they'll start deciding Dunkin or the mom&pop store across the street that doesn't invite in the dregs of the city are a bit more to their liking.

Unless of course they like hepatitis with their coffee, or whatnot.

"I'd like a soy cappuccino with whipped hepatitis and lice on top. I'll take it over at that chair next to the two homeless guys with syringes in their arms."

Yes. That was my point.

I don’t see this ending well for them in sales or employee retention.

Yeah, I know. I was thinking about this I am guessing most of their customers are in and out type of people so focusing on those that sit down or use the bathroom is a waste.

Desperate Starbucks Now Pleading For People To Masturbate, Use Drugs In Its Restrooms

SEATTLE, WA—In an effort to restore the company’s battered image in the wake of recent controversies, desperate Starbucks officials openly begged Monday for people to masturbate and use drugs in the coffee shop chain’s restrooms. “Please, just come in and do whatever the hell you want in the bathroom—feel free to shoot up or whack off—we’ll give you the code, no questions asked,” said Starbucks spokesperson Haley Drage, clarifying that, if a customer wished to stimulate their genitalia to the point of orgasm or snort a line of cocaine elsewhere in the store, they were also more than welcome to do so among the tables, while waiting in line, or behind the service counter.

Whatever.

Like I wasn't masturbating and using needle drugs in Starbucks already.

If they wanted to do everyone else a favor they'd install public showers too.

Wew lad. I'm going to see if I can make them bend the knee

How do I be black??

Just say you are black. Its all about how you feel nowadays
