Problem Solving?

I've been reading about the whole Starbucks employee training and the company's so-called resolution which is to allow anyone to use a Starbucks location for the toilets, wifi, and seating regardless of whether a purchase is made from the store. That sounds crazy to me. You'll have entire stores full of the homeless, loiterers, and anyone else who just wants to hang out. As someone who is not a frequent Starbucks customer, their new policy won't affect me personally, but I just think the management of that company could use some training themselves so they'll stop coming up with idiotic policies like this. Here's my hot take: if you want to use the Starbucks bathroom or partake of their wifi, then you (or at least someone in your party) needs to make a purchase at said Starbucks. Otherwise, adios, amigos! And that goes for everyone, regardless of race, creed, skin color, hair color, religion, whatever. This is a business. It's not the public library. If paying customers go into a Starbucks and see that it's filled with the homeless, they'll stop going to that Starbucks. And maybe that's a good thing. Maybe those customers will give their business to another franchise or an independent coffee house.
