Starbucks is shuttering more than a dozen stores due to reports of rife drug use and disturbances by brazen members of the public at the popular cafés. The planned closures, announced Monday, will see 16 stores closed in several cities across the country—all set in left-leaning locales. The reported disruptions include drug use by paying customers and, more often than not, members of the public—who often take advantage of the company's open bathroom policy, which allows nonpaying patrons to use their facilities. As a result, the lavatories have in large part devolved into dens of debauchery, regularly used by vagrants and homeless to do drugs and engage in

Comments:

And yet the executives who approved the open bathrooms policy and who encouraged BLM rioters and general anti-corporate sentiment among their comrades have not been sued into poverty for gross malfeasance, even though we all saw this coming the first time it hit the news. Funny how that works.

Everybody needs coffee and drugs in the morning, don't they? We knew that Starbucks was shooting themselves in the foot with that incredibly stupid policy but we didn't expect them to use a 12 gauge and blow the entire foot off. Sucks to be them.

Thank GOD for Community coffee here in S. Louisiana. I think there's a Starbucks in a Target store nearby, but since I won't use Target, I'm not sure. And the one time I had a Starbucks, while visiting family in Seattle, it tasted burnt! Worst cup of Joe I ever had!

The House on Thursday passed a bill 260-169 that would allow law enforcement to deploy an Amber alert-like phone notification system in active shooter situations. Forty-three Republicans joined Democrats in voting for the bill, and one Democrat, Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., who is not running for reelection, voted against it. The bill, led by Reps.
