Sooner than later we will be charged for using the bathroom like in Europe and later fluorescent blue lights will be installed like many European bathrooms have. These lights are installed so drug users can’t find their veins to shoot themselves up and bathrooms becoming a junkie place.

The left destroys everything that once was normal common sense.

You buy a drink to use the bathroom.

Umm, everyone with half a brain knows it is location dependent.

Ask the franchisee in Union Square in SF how they feel about open bathrooms and the no purchase policy.

Starbucks: You don't need to buy anything to hang out in our stores *

For crying out loud. Just buy one drink. Ive seen people sit there for hours doing computer work nursing one drink. I go early in my shiftat my 2nd job to get something the same people will still be there several hours later leeching wifi.

Starbucks is not an eating establishment. It's clear you have never stepped foot in a Starbucks.

Starbucks will soon look like a dirty, inner city bus station waiting area. No thanks! In my town people are already complaining about the new “vibeâ€. People bringing in McDonald’s coffee to mooch off of Starbucks WiFi and comfy chairs.

Wife and I talked about this the other day. From now on, when we need to stop for a pee break, we'll use Starbucks instead of McDonald's. Hope the restrooms are super clean.

Starbucks has officially announced that their stores will be a drug injection site, and homeless shelter.

They better add Narcan to their weekly supply of coffee, cups and straws.

Thanks, but no thanks. Although not having to buy their overpriced bad coffee is a definite benefit to going there now.

Good news - firstly it gets the homeless off the streets and secondly we can all go to a much nicer independent coffee shop (which pays taxes) and get a proper cup of coffee.

It's a win win situation.
