It goes against the very culture that is at the core of coffee shops including Starbucks, come in, hang out, you are welcome even if you don't buy.
Last time I was in a Starbucks, because it was my only choice, half the people, college town, were non paying customers just hanging out killing time or using the free WIFI.
My son has math tutoring every Monday evening. His tutor operates out of a local Starbucks. He is there 3-4 hours a day tutoring kids. Maybe he buys one cup of coffee if that. He's been doing it for years.
It is a culture they foster.
So the question comes down to "what was different here?"

Ah, I misunderstood! I dont know where I got the bathroom story from! Thanks!
And now I see that they close 8,000 stores for half a day for an "anti-racist" training for the employees, the stores are not closed forever.
