Good, but all business bathrooms should be public bathrooms. No more "buy something or get out" BS.

Thing is, I have gone into a Starbucks before buying anything and used their bathroom. No one called police on me.
-
Same. I’ve used the bathroom before ordering, and without ever ordering (when my kids were young). Never arrested. Never spoken to. I’ve waited for a colleague/friend, too. Without ordering. Without arrest.
-
I have too but I always feel.bad about it. In the other hand if it's a public restroom you should be allowed to use it without purchase
-
I think it balances out with the times I have spent $20 on a coffee & danish without using the bathroom.
-
I've absolutely used that specific Starbucks bathroom in Philly without purchasing anything. A code is needed for the lock on the door and the Sbux EE just shouted it out to me over the counter.
-
I've always used restaurant bathrooms without purchase here and there. I mostly do but something. I think they were there for a while. They had to be to get the attention of any SBuckd employee because they're always busy.

Do we really need to train people not to be racist?
@Starbucks. This training needs to start way earlier than this. Home? Nursery school? -
Exactly! Is there research to show that training can make a racist unracist? I still want a posted policy in every Starbucks about customer use of the restrooms, definition of loitering, and how long do black people have to order coffee?
-
There is research showing the training can help.
-
Could you post it please? I’ve been trying to find it for a while and only found a questionable study showing very short term effects
-
I can't today. I have to go finish my taxes and not spend all day arguing with people that are wrong on twitter. Ha! I'll try to remember to refind this after I'm done. Really not going to look at twitter again today.
-
Sounds good. If you find it later I honestly do wanna see it not just arguing
-
Not who you were speaking to but seeing this convo got me curious enough to dig into academic lit. databases. So far I've found that this kind of training CAN be somewhat effective, but unless an individual is intrinsically motivated to change it won't have lasting effect.
-
Thank you for that. That proves my point that a person has to want to not be racist.

The manager needs to be fired and these men need to sue
-
Agreed. Also, the cops need to understand that they don't work for starbucks or any other business. If no law is being broken then they shouldn't be arresting anyone just because some barrista asks them to.

He should be announcing the manager of that store being fired.
