Customers Rage As Starbucks Turns Into Homeless Shelter
2018-05-23
Death of a company?
[Zero Hedge] - Starbucks' controversial decision to enable every Tom, Dick, and non-paying Harry to use their restrooms has sparked equal parts criticism and praise, mirroring the nation's increasingly extreme partisan perspective on every- and any-thing...

"It sounds like Starbucks is turning their stores into homeless shelters. Their coffee is strong but their management is weak," said Ron Raduechel, a 64-year-old retired supply chain executive from Waukesha, Wis., who said he would no longer go to Starbucks.

...

"I believe Starbucks is doing what’s right in their hearts whether its outcome sparks negativity or not," said Johnny Varela, a 31-year-old carpenter in Orlando, Fla.

"I think Starbucks is very humanitarian."
Humanitarian, maybe; business savvy, not so much.

Learning the hard way is never fun; but it is effective.

#9  Probably already memed by millions, but whatever: STARBUGS! Way to go, geniuses, leapfrogging ahead of the public library in the "places you wouldn't think of sitting down in" sweepstakes. Shoot, I'm tempted to start patronizing 'em just to do some theatrical scratching and sniffing meself. Mabye demand some reparations or a free rugelach or something, even.

#6  Well, hard to sell coffee when you don't know which homeless person pissed in it before being handed to you.
