    Can someone explain why this is so bad?

    I feel like this would be a pretty positive change for workers to be able to kick out assholes who are rude and don’t even order anything. If we aren’t going to let them unionize or pay them more at least let their work be less annoying.

    Like, idk I don’t expect Starbucks to “solve” the homeless problem they usually trespass homeless people anyways. So… is this really that bad?

      I’m sure the workers will be excited to learn they get to deal with becoming bouncers too. The general population is so fun to deal with these days as it is.

        It’s not like that’s new? They already gotta trespass people. Just an open door policy leads to people being even shittier because that’s corporate policy so you can’t kick me out and blah blah blah.

        Just like… there’s a lot of other bullshit to be mad at Starbucks over this really doesn’t matter compared to their union busting or other bullshit.

          If someone is going to get belligerent about being asked to leave, I promise you that their beligerence is complete unphased by corporate policy.

            Uhg I wrote a post and got sidetracked before hitting post RIP.

            Anyways point was more about being able to ask people to leave at all (from what I remember the change was very you can’t kick people out cuz the Philly store did a no no. Maybe that changed after the initial backlash or maybe I’m misremembering it as a specific person my friend who was a manager at the time wasn’t allowed to kick out for some specific reason, idk man it’s been ages since my friends worked there and since that change.) but also mostly just… idk I am not particularly saying it’s super good and perfect change just that it doesn’t seem like a big deal either way. People are acting like this is some big evil change and I don’t get it. Like it’s Starbucks, they’re a for profit company not a public park I don’t see why this matters much one way or the other. They weren’t offering some beautiful after school enrichment or anything super crazy they’re just going back to their old policy.

            Exactly. Basically a paragraph long way to say ‘I have no retail experience’ without those exact words.
