PHILADELPHIA -- If you want to hang out or use the restroom at Starbucks, you're going to have to buy something.
Starbucks on Monday said it was reversing a policy that invited everyone into its stores. A new code of conduct - which will be posted in all company-owned North American stores - also bans discrimination or harassment, consumption of outside alcohol, smoking, vaping, drug use and panhandling.
Good luck with that. Now that they've established themselves as a place for these misfits and losers to hang out, simply posting a revised code of conduct on the door won't keep them out. After all, these are not the sort of people who give a shit about rules. Staff will have to actively run these idiots out, resulting in confrontations, and probably violent reactions from some of them. Brace for impact.
ReplyDeleteBRD has a point. Re-educating the lunatics will be a monumental task. They will fight tooth and nail because as we all know they are the smartest in the room when its empty... If you doubt it just ask them. Why we ever started to elect them to office is beyond common sense. The good news is that we might be able to make pedophilia and sex with kids illegal again. That alone will take take of the lion share of uncivil and immoral humans out of positions of power..
DeleteEven the most progressive companies eventually find out profits are paramount and their "let's be inclusive and fight racism" policies are not popular with the paying customers.
ReplyDeleteOf course. I'm just pointing out it will be a lot harder to get the idiots out than it was to let them in. And there are likely to be altercations and shootings that result from trying to force out the bad element now, after giving them a few years to get comfortable. Not that I care, it's Starbucks after all, so let them suffer from their "own goal"
DeleteDecent coffee would help . . .
ReplyDeleteTo hell with the company. They've had several chances to turn around, and squandered every opportunity so's they could virtue signal for the latest "thing". I see someone with a large (yeah, that's right) Starbucks and can make a fairly good assessment of their character on the spot. Not everyone - I know Kenny's Lady likes it, and I have a very high opinion of her; but here in the NW, it holds.
ReplyDeleteShe likes her fancy gay coffee, but not Starbucks too much. She prefers the coffee place here in town.
DeleteAnd I don't disagree in the least. They are a woketard company, with all that entails. Let them eat their own cooking, just as endless libshittery in LA has begotten them the disaster of having their seaside enclave torched. Stupid should hurt.
