The right question is why Starbucks has to do this? if the local government continues to tolerate criminals, more businesses will adopt a similar policy to ensure the safety of customers and operation of business. It’s a failure of the government.
They shouldn’t have to clean the bathroom for people who aren’t customers. I worked at a Joanne and I was sick of people clogging toilets for people and their children when they are only there to use a bathroom
I remember in early 2021 how Starbucks was full of homeless people resting and keeping warm. It was weird. Trader Joes has the best restrooms for customers. They usually had two in back, male and female, but then made them single use before recently rebuilding them into 3 smaller single use restrooms. It used to be that unlocked restrooms were everywhere only used as restrooms until about 10 years ago they became drug using booths so the locks and codes went up. Notice how the corporations are mostly not keeping the liberal policies they went with 4 years ago? They're actually on both sides of the isle in big money politics.
they always try to catch up just to inch along to try to pretend that they’re becoming more for the people. What a joke. Where were you for the last several years? Joke
I suspect they do. This is a problem that landlords often complain about. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think a person’s lawn and garage says a lot about how the house looks inside . If their yard is never mown, chances are that the inside of the house is also a mess.
They destroy it for all of us who have been grateful for Starbucks If.i had to pee I knew I could go.starbucks sucks now where do legit non homeless people go pee if they don't have money and are travelling don't drive in Seattle
About time. I worked at one of the busiest stores in the Seattle district. We had two single bathrooms that I wouldn’t even be able to use because there would be someone locked in for hours. We got our store, beautifully, remodeled and less than a week later a homeless man fell asleep in the bathroom and the fire department had to use a ax to break the frosted glass door. He was naked and screaming all while small children looked on. Not to mention baristas being stabbed by needles. Starbucks is only concerned about their own image and how they look to the public not about their employees.
Right if only they truly care about that more then insulting someone who struggling. the world is just so negative its shameful that its the grown ups are the ones who are acting like children so immature. But let talk keep shit America lets not force on things that matters like the drugs on the street and shooting that been going on. Most importantly The HOMELESS Crisis.
What retailers are they comparing themselves two that have similar restroom policies? Supermarkets have restrooms which often have a license to have a Starbucks inside Operator by the supermarket employees and typically where I live you can just walk into a supermarket use the restroom and walk out without buying anything and nobody will bother you.
What happened? You getting tired of the riff raff? But come one, this is what you are stiving for, saving the world with over priced lousy coffee. But hey, someone needs to hire these people. Disneyland?
But why would you want to be there if you don’t intend to buy anything from them? I personally have better things to do than doing nothing at Starbucks .
I had no idea that Starbucks even had that policy to begin with. I always thought just like everywhere else I’ve gone to you have to buy something in order to sit and enjoy or use the restroom..😂
Why don’t you guys open the doors to all the homeless people and maybe you can even give them beds? Would that be the right thing to do especially in the cold winter months? If you really cared cause you were so great and so wonderful? Not. Seattle for the last several years has allowed everything to go onhell in handbasket. But for some reason Trump‘s coming in it seems and everyone’s trying to straighten up. I see it all around the board.
by the way, does buying a free Starbucks water cup count as being a Starbucks customer? note: I need to know if that's considerable under the new policy
Can a bunch of 5 hanging in there with only 1 purchase ? Can someone chill out for half hour first before buying ? Ridiculous rules will only turn people away
I do not agree with this i do not drive getting older one of th last places to go pee i guess ill have to just pee in th .lightrail elevator than i dont have money to buy anything im not homeless but i do travel north to west Seattle tukwilla and beyond 2 hour trips -ive been grateful for Starbucks...i dont care anymore im tired of how much seattle has gone down hill ...i couldnt believe i went in a gas station in Bothell by my apt and didn't need a code for the bathroom!! Downtown nowhere to pee i mean it... menopause is no joke.when I .gotra pee i have to pee i dont.wanna pee on an elevator where do people go now when we have to go we have to goo!
@Musicman-y7v u be a 49 year old woman travelling 2 hours making 20$ an hour i dont have mkney to spend 10$ tor a dam cup of coffee to go pee @@Musicman-y7v
Help me make sense I have a low income bus pass I pay for monthly so my travel is $1.00 ...I have a low income discount orca card I pay for monthly I counted on the restrooms at Starbucks last ones that allowed people to.pee in Seattle u know anywhere else to go pee? Man there might be business in making ...paid to go porta potties that's my idea I'm pattoning it claiming it for fucks sake all bad
Why would they want people who aren't customers in there?
You have homeless in there as well as people just go in there and use there WiFi
FRIENDLY,,,,once again ,,ain't customers screwed it UP,,,, zero Internet for non customers 😮😮😮,,,,,,,lottering,,,,, people taking advantage of the hospitality,,,,
it's also a crowd control issue especially some branches are small in size
just people sitting there using the space without spending anything is crazy; some people are just shameless
Soooo I am not allowed to be in the store when my wife wants to get a coffee?, I don’t drink coffee.
@@christopherkeene3647 they do have stuff other than coffee. But anyways you are with your wife
How stupid is Howard! It’s a business not a charity. Too late!
Oh no. Where will all the lazy non workers go during the work day
How about people who travel?? Literally don't drive?? I agreean sucks homeless ruined it for everyone where do legit people who travel to pee I'm getting older now ugh so freaking lame
@@angelalamb5624The cheapest thing is some water or something, probably 4 dollars lol

So open border ok. But the free bathroom is a bridge too far.
Starbucks doesn’t control our border. You will have to wait a few days for the new President to do that
LOL @@Phoenixhunter157
Great, no more homeless at Starbucks or drug users
No matter. I avoid them anyway. They've gone downhill and competitors are everywhere, and are all better.
They shouldn’t have to clean the bathroom for people who aren’t customers. I worked at a Joanne and I was sick of people clogging toilets for people and their children when they are only there to use a bathroom
having lived in Seattle 40+ yrs+going 2 Starbucks in heart of thee city...i applaud this move...NO PAY...NO PLAY...KUDOS 2 STARBUCKS...
Utilizing someone else's property without buying something small is just rude.
😂😂--- things will continue to go down for Starbucks
Better yet, make it members only.
Right get the mark of the beast or something eye roll
Hey, let's also start charging bus fare. 😀

You mean that this all about money? But they are turning their backs on the...over money? That would never happen, not in seattle, home of the...

It's not a red/blue issue
@Correct, it's a green issue.

Why do people go crazy destroy public bathrooms? Seriously, or do people treat their own bathrooms like that too?
I suspect they do. This is a problem that landlords often complain about. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think a person’s lawn and garage says a lot about how the house looks inside . If their yard is never mown, chances are that the inside of the house is also a mess.

@@angelalamb5624Hi cupcake, there are way more convenience stores than there are Starbucks. You are definitely short of a few screws. 😂
Private company = private space
Fewer businesses, not less.
Gotta flip the script before Orange Man Bad gets back in office LOL weird
1:55 *spits out coffee, "No smoking or... what did you just say?!"

Good for starbucks
Try truly addressing & fixing the drug addiction problem in America and then crime, homelessness and "mental crisis" will finally go down.
Right if only they truly care about that more then insulting someone who struggling. the world is just so negative its shameful that its the grown ups are the ones who are acting like children so immature. But let talk keep shit America lets not force on things that matters like the drugs on the street and shooting that been going on. Most importantly The HOMELESS Crisis.

Right. I don’t need people smoking cigarettes in the bathroom while my latte is in the process of being made.
What happened? You getting tired of the riff raff? But come one, this is what you are stiving for, saving the world with over priced lousy coffee. But hey, someone needs to hire these people. Disneyland?
No using drugs?! How novel.
Someone had to ruin it for everyone
But why would you want to be there if you don’t intend to buy anything from them? I personally have better things to do than doing nothing at Starbucks .
Who exactly is "everyone"?
thank you Starbucks
I had no idea that Starbucks even had that policy to begin with. I always thought just like everywhere else I’ve gone to you have to buy something in order to sit and enjoy or use the restroom..😂

Only in Seattle or everywhere?
8 dollars for a coffee who cares
This could be move that broke the camel back.
Woke that broke the camel's back.
Gast food places are better to visit without the hassle
Admit it Starbucks makes horrible coffee
McDonald's has better coffee and a lot cheaper.
Myself had not visited a starbucks that didnt have a combo lock on the restroom. Probably why the rr are decent.
I don’t drink coffee.
Omg!!! Lol good luck with that!
by the way,
does buying a free Starbucks water cup count as being a Starbucks customer?
note: I need to know if that's considerable under the new policy
Makes sense
i've seen people sitting in a starbucks eating chinese food - starbucks is doing the right thing - the customers certainly aren't going to complain ..
Did they have a latte with their Chinese food?
@@angelalamb5624 nope - i talked to one of the employees - she said people do it all the time ..
Now thats funny 🎉
Can a bunch of 5 hanging in there with only 1 purchase ? Can someone chill out for half hour first before buying ? Ridiculous rules will only turn people away
Yes, people who aren't paying customers. Welcome to real life.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Strange, if I'm gonna just hand out .... I do it at home . Not in Starbucks. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pay to Play
Thank you Starbucks. ❤
Sounds good 👍

This reporter needs voice lessons.
☕ I am more surprised that some fastfood chains have codes on there bathroom doors!
I wonder if they're going to wake up now the policies they voted in destroyed their own Starbucks🤣🤣🤣🤦♂
Not a chance
Seattle sucks
Lol😂😮😢😅🎉
