Bubble_Gum 01/14/25 11:00:43 AM #7:	Worked at Starbucks for 5 years and was a manager for 3. You sort of become numb to the people in the lobby, but the vast majority of people bought something. We did stop giving out cups of water without a purchase, because for some reason in the summer people just show up for water and nothing else. Of course this is for the high volume urban stores I'd imagine. Pretty much everywhere downtown/uptown in my state already require a purchase for using the bathroom, so meh. I doubt you'd be kicked out in suburbia for asking to use the bathroom. --- <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Generic girly placeholder sig <cite>Bubble_Gum posted [p:983658904] in Starbucks ...

ChocoboMogALT 01/14/25 9:00:21 PM #41:	I worked at a store that near government buildings that afforded homeless people lots of protections. My store basically became "the homeless spot," which was generally fine. The bathrooms had a code on them, but you just had to ask and we'd give it without purchase. But every so often we'd get someone doing drugs in the bathroom and have to ban them. If they had friends, the friends would get the bathroom code and give it to the junkie who would do it again. That would continue until we had a police officer issue a trespass notice, which usually solved the issue. --- "We live in a country Hasire.." ~ yosouf06 REVOLVER STAKE! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/ChocoboMog123/AltEisenRChocoboMog.png <cite>ChocoboMogALT posted [p:983666138] in Starbucks ...

Having worked there I can confirm that it's mostly the kind of people you'd expect to sit at a coffee shop all day. (Artsy hipsteresque people and wannabe artists alike) The funniest moments were discovering people who I thought were coming in daily to work were really just gaming the entire time .
