"Starbucks spaces are for use by our partners and customers - this includes our cafes, patios and restrooms," reads the new Code of Conduct, which will apply to all company-owned stores in North America and will take effect on Jan. 27. The new policy aims to reinforce that only paying customers may use the facilities, reflecting a shift in Starbucks’ approach to maintaining a welcoming environment.
Starbucks spokeswoman Jaci Anderson stated, "By setting clear expectations for behavior and use of our spaces, we can create a better environment for everyone." The new restrictions not only include the prohibition of panhandling and smoking but also aim to prevent antisocial behavior like violence and harassment.
