The Starbucks I go to on the weekends actually has a good amount of homeless people hanging out around it, and fairly often even hangout out inside it. It's not really that bad.

Where I work, our bathrooms are available for anyone who walks in the door. We have a homeless guy who stands outside all day long, and he occasionally comes in and uses it........no problem. Homeless people are just like you and me, except life has not been as good to them.

No, seriously it's not that bad.

I mean, I suppose I could imagine worse types of homeless hanging out in there, but you definitely can tell them when they're hanging out in there, and for the most part they keep to themselves.

FWIW it's this Starbucks here. Often there's homeless hanging out in the median in the little access road next to it, and sometimes they go into the Starbucks, or hang out just outside it.

Do their employees put hidden cameras in them too?

For me, it's not about a "homeless" issue. Every Starbucks I visit is generally crowded. They are one of those establishments that has ONE toilet for women and ONE for men. Occasionally I think I've seen one that had mixed gender bathrooms for the two of them. But even as a paying customer, it's sometimes quite a bit of a wait to use the restroom. Now that everyone can use them, it will be worse. And yes, sometimes I need to use the restroom there when I stop for my drink depending on the day.

Would you rather they relieve themselves on public streets?
