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.
Starbucks spokesperson Jaci Anderson said the new rules are designed to help prioritize paying customers. Anderson said most other retailers already have similar rules.
Quick reminder that your local library probably does not follow those rules. Go hang out at your local library instead! Depending on location/country they might have a café too.
Also community college libraries. Theyre usually open where you can kinda just show up
💯! This will also improve society as a whole if people went to library more than coffee shops. We take are kids all the time, and they love books and excel in school.
I love going to the library to panhandle and smoke. Librarians don’t mind, I always leave them a good tip.
That’s a great idea!
But I can’t talk about how cool my macbook is and the bootstrap code I just copy and pasted
You still can but the librarian might shush you.
