Starbucks Is Implementing You Got To Pay To Stay [VIDEO]

If you got to go to the bathroom while out and about, need to use the internet for a project or want to have an impromptu meeting, unless you plan on buying something you can’t stop at your local Starbucks anymore, you will have to pay to stay or tinkle. 

Starbucks is reversing its open-door policy, which allowed anyone to lounge in its cafes or use its restrooms without making a purchase. Spokesperson Jaci Anderson told the AP on January 13, 2025 that the company’s new guidelines prioritize paying customers and that most other retailers have similar policies.

“We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable in our stores,”… “By setting clear expectations for behavior and use of our spaces, we can create a better environment for everyone.”

The coffee giant’s open-door policy instated in 2018 after two Black men waiting for a friend were arrested for trespassing in a Philadelphia Starbucks.
