The come-one, come-all policy announced earlier this month arrived even as fast-food joints, libraries and other public establishments have increasingly cut back access in order to avoid becoming homeless havens and drug dens amid the opioid and heroin crisis. “Do you really want to deal with a mass of homeless people or whoever is in there — could be drug-addicted, you don’t know — when you’re there with your kids?” asked NBC host Megyn Kelly on her show Tuesday. In reality, many Starbucks stores, particularly those in suburban, residential and rural areas, have long allowed non-paying customers to loiter and take advantage of the facilities, but the other outlets often had a reason for their tighter policies — problems with a disruptive clientele. ........“Public Restrooms Have Become Ground Zero in the Opioid Epidemic,” declared DrugAbuse.com in a post earlier this month. In Los Angeles, for example, three downtown locations in 2016 closed their bathrooms entirely, even to paying customers, citing safety concerns, according to NPR. Starbucks executive chairman Howard Schultz said earlier this month that he understands the policy’s drawbacks, but that he didn’t want anyone to feel as if they were “less than.” “We don’t want to become a public bathroom, but we’re going to make the right decision 100 percent of the time and give people the key,” Mr. Schultz said. Posts on a Reddit thread for Starbucks baristas show them grappling with a vagrancy problem both before and after the company’s May 19 announcement. “I already have customers yelling at me for letting homeless people hang out,” said a Sunday post. “I don’t know what they expect me to do. They aren’t even bothering anyone. Just feels so good to be yelled at over this, thanks Starbucks. We’ve already lost a good chunk of regulars over this crap.” Said one responder: “Tell them to call corporate and complain. Us baristas didn’t decide on these new rules, corporate did”........ A January 2016 study in the Harvard Business Review, “Diversity Policies Rarely Make Companies Fairer, and They Feel Threatening to White Men,” reported that Walmart was able to use its anti-discrimination policy to help fend off a 2011 gender-bias lawsuit. “And Walmart isn’t alone: the ‘diversity defense’ often succeeds, making organizations less accountable for discriminatory practices,” said the study by researchers at the University of California Santa Barbara and University of Washington. Starbucks isn’t done. While the Tuesday training is centered on race, the coffee colossus will later “address many other facets of what makes us truly human,” expanding its effort to encompass a host of identity-politics categories, according to a newly released video. “The work will grow to reflect the realities of our abilities, ethnicities, gender identities and expressions, sexual identities, class, language, citizenship, political views, religious affiliations, and more,” said the company. Poster Comment: This article brings the first actual pay dirt in the insane affair -- a statement that the insane new policy is already driving away regular customers. Since it's reported of one Tarbucks outlet it has to be true of many. The other parts I've bolded above are at least as damning -- PAY DIRT, chillrun, of a distinctly gefiltefish-scented variety. THIS WHOLE BUSINESS IS THE ABSOLUTE EPITOME OF JEW INSANITY! ONLY WACKY, OVER-JEWED JEW EXTREMISTS INDULGE IN THIS TOTALLY CRAZY, RUINOUS FASHION ON THE BASIS OF STUPID POLITICALLY-CORRECT FEELS!!! On noticing this is a Washington Times article I wondered why we don't see links from the DCT more often. It was, after all, one of the few passably right of center national newspapers in existence for many years. But by the end of the piece I realized it's lousy with PC too, a weird mix of sanity and inanity in fact. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
