Well said, sheriff. If there were enough public facilities that wouldn't be an issue. And since there are not enough, it's very kind of a private company to open theirs. Good on them for showing some empathy. It's us, people, who make this world as it is, for better or for worse. |

There is huge competition in the business and customers can easily go elsewhere. I wonder will you have the same empathy for the business if and when it goes down or for the employees who loose their jobs - ultimately due to the fear instilled by PC. Or alternatively will it make you and/or others who support such strong-arm PC tactics feel strong and powerful. |
what about people with inflammatory bowel problems though, such as Crohn’s, Colitis, IBS?
exactly. you can’t tell purely by looking at someone whether they have one or not as it’s not a physical disability |
i wonder what members would do if the local homeless banged on their doors and asked if they could come in for a sh1te?
amazing how lofty ideals can dissipate like snowflakes falling in a river |

It won’t end well, the sentiment will be abused and people who pay 5 quid for coffee and a biscuit will vote with their feet

Starbucks have every right to let anyone use their toilets, just like they have the right to refuse access to people who don't buy stuff. People are also allowed to whinge and withdraw if they don't want to go in a room that previously had a homeless person in it/

Starbucks was already on a decline in America and Canada due to stiff competition from competitors. The bad publicity they garnished over the story that started this didn't help. McDonald's, Tim Hortons and others now have espresso machines with everything Starbucks offers on its menu for cheaper. They are struggling and grasping at this point. McDonald's also provides free washrooms to paying or non paying customers... as do many others.
I just see thus move as them keeping up with their competition. |
This is a good thing for thousands of people. If homeless people being allowed to use a toilet negatively impacts your life, I’d argue that you’re a bit of a ****. Buy your overpriced coffee elsewhere...

As long as they're not in there with me (Starbucks usually has one person toilets, rather than bigger ones with cubicles) what difference does it make? |
