Well, around here, when Starbucks close, the amount of homeless(felons from non-sanctuary States) street crapping goes up.

So, we're all thankful when they are open.

Do you really think the homeless go to Starbucks?

First, it's way too small, can't get a cart in there
Second, it's full of starbucks customers, whom everyone hates

Why bother, when every fast food joint in town has lots of room, very few starbucks customers, and easy access to the bathrooms right next to the front door?

Yes. Absolutely. But probably only for numero dos.

I'm in downtown Seattle. You can't find a fast food joint anywhere - lessen you want to risk your life at 3rd and Pike.

But you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a homeless person or a Starbucks.

If only the overpriced hipster food trucks had restrooms....

My sentiments exactly.

Apparently you've never tuned the carbs on a 911T!

they would notice for sure. they are not on every other corner for nothing. that place is busy. collectively we might not be fans, but there ARE fans out there. lots of them.

somebody is buying that premade chicken salad sandwich for $8.

I only go to Starbucks if I'm on a road trip. I stopped the daily coffee purchase many, many, years ago then the prices rose to rediculous levels. I can make coffee pretty well too!

^ I love it. Do you go to a coffee shop to meet people? I go to coffee shops (but not SB) to get coffee. What a radical idea.

I don’t drink coffee, so I’ve never been in a SB’s.

They can have all the homeless people they want.

petrolhead611 05-30-2018 11:28 PM

I only buy coffee from shops that pay their taxes in full in the countries in which they operate.

The one time I went, it was the only thing open on a long stretch of turnpike in the early morning $20 for two hot chocolates, and a danish ???? Never again !

I wonder how many of the homeless in Starbucks are Vets.
