Very kind. I do hope people do not take advantage though.

Travellers used to come into my place of work which have toilets you can use without being a customer and they would block the toilets to everyone else so they could wash. I have seen them block a disabled toilet for 20 minutes leaving a poor woman outside waiting until security kicked them out.

Private toilet versus public.

Dear me, basics aren't your strong suit are they?

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.

Good Points Mokka

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...

Well you're incorrect. Many, many businesses have ethical practices and rules.

It doesn't impact anyones life, but it will affect their business. Like I said, buy shares in Costa.

Read what Mokka said. McDonald and others allow everybody use their toilets too.

And. McDonalds is hardly the cleanest place to eat - and although I sometimes buy a Macci - I either eat it at home or in the car. I doubt I am alone in that - in fact I know I’m not!

this, tbh

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?

That's what I'm getting at, they will.

I don't drink coffee anyway and have never been in a coffee shop in my life, but my point is, this is a terrible business move. Stop trying to turn it in to that people are somehow being against homeless people.

I’m sure that is just what Starbucks don’t want to hear as then they may well go out of business. I hope your concern and empathy extends to those that lose their jobs - or are you more interested in making a political point!

public toilets where you have to pay and sometimes you have to walk for ages to find one, like i said earlier particularly for those with bowel problems.

awful how in 2018 some public toilets require payment from those using it - going in to spend a penny and end up spending around 20 of them its disgusting
