You’re gonna love the new Starbucks!
Starbucks recently enacted its “Third Place Policy” which means employees should consider anyone who enters the establishment a customer regardless whether they make a purchase.
“We are committed to creating a culture of warmth and belonging where everyone is welcome,” Starbucks said.
Because customers who pay north of $5.00 for a fancy latte want to have a side of syringes.
Starbucks enacted this policy after they faced a huge backlash when two black men were arrested at a Philadelphia location.
This new policy is not only upsetting Starbucks employees, but paying customers as well, who are used to enjoying a pleasant atmosphere.
A Starbucks employee reportedly found syringes, drug baggies and blood all over the walls in the bathroom.
GROSS.
Fox News reported:
n a Starbucks subreddit, people are voicing concerns that the new policy will lead to stores being filled with homeless people and drug users. One user who claims they work at a Chicago Starbucks wrote that a homeless person using the bathroom got into a fight with a customer and police requested to see the store policy before taking action.
Someone claiming to be an employee who works at a store in the loop in Chicago said they hate the new policy because the store bathrooms have turned into a hub for drug activity. “We haven’t been allowed to change our bathroom codes since April. So almost all the junkies and homeless people know the code now. About once a week we find needles, drug baggies, blood all over the toilet or walls,” the user wrote.
The Wall Street Journal reported a Starbucks employee was pricked by a syringe in the bathroom.
Starbucks openly invited bums and drug addicts into their establishment. What could possibly wrong?
As if we needed another reason to boycott Starbucks…
