“Stroud and Nelson said the company would implement a long list of measures, including training in de-escalation, active-shooter situations, mental health and first aid, and closing restrooms and even entire locations.”

Seattle had worse issues in the Starbucks I used to frequent downtown. Almost every third/fourth visit featured an awkward or dangerous homeless incident.
LA too but now I only go to a nice location in upscale Los Feliz where you mostly get non-problem homeless people
