I think that is the main problem really. If people don't have access to toilet facilities then that is a big problem. If people who are perfectly genuine are being discriminated against for arbitrary reasons in shops, then that's also a big problem... But these are issues that need a LOT of thought and creative solutions to achieve the best outcomes, without ignoring other factors. In this situation for example, there's no point making some peoples lives easier at the expense of exposing minimum wage workers (who already have to deal with a hell of a lot for what they're paid) to situations that they're not in a position to be able to handle, and in fact removing their ability to handle various situations in fear of their job security.
So by all means... Put together a group dedicated to finding real solutions to make people's lives easier / better and provide facilities but put some real THOUGHT into how it'll work. Starbucks are scrabbling together random, not thought through at all, ideas in a panic for the sake of their brand image. And that stinks more than any public toilet.
