All I’m gonna say is home FTW. Watch Netflix and chill. Make coffee at home. Do my online business and studies at home. No disturbance, no distractions, and no noise. Just peace and quiet. Got my own gym at my garage. Everything I need is at home.
Should have always been the case. It's a business, not a living room. Seen people bring in their own food and drink too. Adds to why their food is more expensive. Some businesses post a 1 or 2 hr limit to allow others to enjoy the space.
Someone needs to pay the rent with property taxes increase to 7% for homeowners, businesses usually higher i don't blame them i blame politicians for higher taxes
I was a regular at a pub that used to offer free oysters once a week during happy hour for patrons. A certain type of people would come in, order water from the wait staff, and then proceed to devour the free oysters. They would then leave and not have the common courtesy to even tip the wait staff. Disgusting behaviour.
I don't even see why this should be an issue. Why would anyone think that it's proper to treat a private business as if it's a public park? Their number one purpose is to make money, not to provide seats for freeloaders.
You do know that Starbucks is the founding father of retail woke culture and their billionaire CEO Howard Schultz is a mega donor for all Dem Presidential candidates starting with Bill Clinton, Obama, H Clinton, Biden and Kamala Harris! Liberals prefer Starbucks, conservatives go to McDonald's or Burger King!
I thought that was the standard? I go to a coffee shop because i like their drinks. In the 90s coffee shops used to be a vibrant place to go hang out, the conversations were deafening at times but we all were like that. Now they've become a mini library, so the least you can do is buy a cup of coffee.
@@johnboko7110 What's that got to do with anything? Starbucks has established itself as an elite place and people know this before they even enter. Don't like the prices, then go somewhere else.
@ Starbucks been known to be a coffee shop not an elite place but it become one that never meant to be one, Yes I will take my money elsewhere, Starbucks sucks anyway.
U guys can still be at the cafe and work, just buy something and dont be so selfish with the tables youre working at. 1 table per person..... This isnt your home. If u want to overcrowd nearby tables with your workspace rent out that side of the cafe?.....
It’s NYC , it’s nothing but packed with Homeless people , the workers can’t do anything because it’s considered “Racist” to ask to non paying customers to leave 😅
A Library that won the Presidential Award of Libraries had a computer section with glass individualized rooms so somebody could tutor someone, or have a private business meeting like an office, or do their studies like a college or high school student for private, quiet study that had outlets to setup laptop and other electronic equipment. This library was able to be self-funded from the donations of those who could contribute to use the library services at reasonable donations and not be charged an arm-and-leg like Corporate Greed does. That is good use of taxpayers' dollars for taxpayers' use.
Coffee shops use to be a place to gather with friends And chat I know a bunch of older people that are retired that meet at the coffee shop And chat for a few hours ..They all buy coffee........The second you start adding Wifi And wall plugs You will get people typing instead of drinking ...Downtown city shops with high traffic should not have this
Perhaps they could have "free" coffee shops if they have a membership, or a donation of some kind when the enter the door. If they want to bring their own stuff, it shouldn't cost a lot for the shop as long as those people are respectable. Just a thought.
they wanted to attract students out of libraries and freelancers out of offices, now that those libraries are closed and those office are shut down, they choose now to enforce the rules. same thing as uber and doordash.
@@el_chilango2953 @Andrico77 you completely missed the point of the story. this is just sad. people can't read the news and understand it, now people can't even watch the news and understand it.
I saw this coming fifteen-twenty years ago. I saw customers who wanted to buy drinks and food walk out of Starbucks when all the tables were taken over by students who should be in a library and adults who should use a WeWorks (when it was around). The bathroom patrons could be sketchy. I think the drive through and pick up & go business model works best for many locations.
I agree 100 percent with this policy and Tim Hortons should bring it in asap. Tim Hortons is getting worse by the day. I was at Tim Hortons with my son and six Indian international students walk in with McDonald coffee cups in their hands that they must have bought from across the street. People are missing common sense these days.
isn't this common sense? my average spent time, longest being 2 hrs (2% of the time), shortest - grab and go (98% of the time), and mostly no more than 5 mins.
I have a Keurig make coffee at home don’t act like snobs just cuz you got your little fancy Tesla or laptops or acting like first world clowns . Buy something or don’t
Agreed, it's a business. And with all the billionaires and politicians we have today they don't seem to want to build any housing except import millions and millions of migrants from the third world that don't assimilate, into north America.
What they dont realize is that if the economy improves, those that are excluded now will never return I drink walmart medium roast. As well it has gone up in price but still is under 10 cents a cup to make. I just drape a filter over a cup and either wet edges or use a rubber band and pour microwaved water over. The starbuck on college drive in baton rouge smells and sounds like ________ anyway. The stock is in a 5 year downtrend lol anyway. All they would need to do is hire a few heterosexual employees and charge 1.50 for a cup and folks would start to come back. These ____s need to realize is a cup is 1.50, if someine goes like 20 days out of month they get 30.00. That person can make 60 cups ie 1 months worth for like 6.00. There price on that bean is like 1.50 so still like 2000% profit lol. Im living off what i lived off of in 1995 ie wiping with a washable rag. Bad decision on there part ie to alienate folks
Ok, I’m fine with only paying customers using tables but bathrooms are a necessity for everyone. I am a card carrying Starbucks customer and occasionally I stop in to use the bathroom without buying anything. Well I just cut up my a Starbucks card. I will go elsewhere to buy my coffee.
No corporation will care that you did this. As time goes on you will be the person that doesn't go to many places and doesn't buy many things and will want to talk about why. We all know one of these people.
People like me don't go into coffee shops because of the throngs of useless people try to look important while using their laptops or talking about their future conquests and taking up seating. I've been into many small places where people just come to get a drink and snack sit down, consume and they leave. They are still in business. I've been to many large places where customer turnover is so slow, the prices are higher than the moon. In Abbot Kinney the prices are sky high at Intelligentsia and a visitor rightly described the place as a "theatrical wankfest" and they would DEFINITELY not let you just walk in and use the restroom.
No it’s not. Why would they clean the washroom after a non paying customer? Find a mall. Do your business there. You sound so entitled to access the amenities of a private company or pay the cheapest coffee and stop being cheap.
Starbucks is a private business. Duh you gotta be a paying customer to use their space. What dumb entitled person think otherwise? If you don’t wanna pay, go to a library for all we care about
Yes Starbucks is a private company and allowed to do that for their bottom line but by doing that it doesn't last very long because you are turning away most of your customers with that type of action.
It looks like they have too much business that they feel this is ok. Not getting another cent from me. (Good thing my bus was on time so I didn’t have time to buy)
😂😂😂 you don’t sound like someone who would be regularly going to a Starbucks anyway . Give me a break. This is how coffee shops work. You gotta be a PAYING customer to use a table and washroom. Does it not work like that in the poverty country you moved from?
Bruh. This is an entirely reasonable policy. I dislike Starbucks, and I've disliked many things they've done over the years, but this isn't one of them. Imagine if you had a coffee shop or a restaurant, and a bunch of people would come in to use your customer wifi and loiter there for several hours (or all day) and buy absolutely nothing. You probably wouldn't be putting up with it.

Really ,yes.
Everybody thinks they are entitled these days to loiter in private space.
Was gonna say!
Hahaha a lot of ppl just sit all day and buy one coffee
Pretty reasonable request. Those who visit there, chances are probable the patron would like to buy something there.
I mean it's a business buy something or leave
Seems reasonable to me. Not in the business of offering affordable housing.
What business are you in?

making your own coffee SUCKS compared to starbucks better coffee. home coffee 1/10, starbucks coffee 10/10
Agree 100% with this new policy. It prevents unwanted people coming in. They also need to put " time limits " as well.

Totally agree some just camp out without spending a penny. Should make a purchase.
Its customary to buy something when you sit in an establishment. Even for a dollar. Do t bea sponge
