The staff don't monitor the bathrooms that much as they're too busy and would get in trouble for wandering off like this. But, if they get a complaint from a customer or notice someone is just loitering for hours and keeping in the bathroom, I think that would be very different than a child coming in. Most places with a posted sign aren't going to have that problem if it is a child or someone who is disabled. I wouldn't be surprised if some locations got a key though. A lot of convenience stores in really bad areas or prone to theft do this.

…oh thank you for clarifying that, Maru…I mean, to some extent there should be an open door policy in that there has to be some flexibility but they also have to balance that either running a business and making their premises ‘user friendly’ for the paying customers as well…with Starbucks specifically and the ones that I know of locally…?..they seem to be struggling in that they’re very rarely busy and actually seem quite ‘un-busy’ a substantial amount of the time…
