The doors of about 8,000 Starbucks stores will be locked for a few hours Tuesday afternoon leaving many to search out alternatives for their coffee fix.
As the coffee giant requires its thousands of employees to sit through a mandatory “implicit bias training” in the wake of controversy over its bathroom policy, those benefiting from the updated rules on opening restrooms to non-paying customers will also have to wait.
Tomorrow marks the day when STARBUCKS caves to Liberal pressure and converts all of their 8,000+ US locations to Homeless Shelters.

Caving to political correctness, the coffeehouse chain announced its new policy to allow anyone to use their facilities following last month’s incident in Philadelphia, where two black men were arrested after refusing to leave the store.
“Any person who enters our spaces, including patios, cafes and restrooms, regardless of whether they make a purchase, is considered a customer,” the company announced earlier this month, sparking backlash and concern over just who the “any person” could be.
Many fear that unlocked bathrooms will become a magnet for the homeless as well as drug addicts, driving away paying customers as the coffee shops become “new state of the art homeless shelters.”
Actor James Woods drove the point home with tweets reacting to the new company policy.
#Starbucks has more to clean up than syringes and its blood-splattered walls. How about its brand value, customer good will and stock future? What about neighborhoods destroyed by the loitering and concomitant potential unsanitary health conditions emanating from its policies? https://t.co/Jzbxj0ZNqj

How forward thinking of @Starbucks to have installed baby changing stations in all of their #HomelessHotels. Now drug addicts can shoot up on the very surface where you place your infant! #MultiUse #StarsbucksFunZone pic.twitter.com/D7aJ7XSgiW

But the open spaces – and bathrooms – will be closed across the nation’s Starbucks locations for a few hours on Tuesday, as the company re-trains its staff on the latest progressive fad. This may be a great opportunity for customers to check out the competition, which presumably has bathrooms open for paying patrons.
So, the new business model :
Alienate the largest demographic groups in the country ✔
Attract the youngest idiots on the planet ✔
Invite all the people without money ✔

Now the idiots at Starbucks have to invest in hazmat suits and hazardous waste removal training for their baristas.

They have officially skeeved me out. And this “unconscious training” day… what a gigantic joke that is. I’m done with Starbucks, they have gone WAY over the edge.

When Starbucks reopens people should just go there and use their bathrooms and then sit at their tables for hours without ordering anything. If that was done all over the Country how long would Starbucks allow it to continue?
