  • Starbucks is about to make visitors buy something to use the bathroom or get free water. Some workers say the plans might not pan out.

Starbucks is reportedly revising its policies regarding free water and bathroom access, according to store workers cited in a recent article. Previously, Starbucks had a reputation for providing free water and open bathroom access to anyone, not just customers, as part of its community-friendly image. However, recent changes aim to limit these amenities to paying customers only, in an effort to manage store operations more efficiently and reduce loitering. Employees have expressed concerns about the enforcement of these new policies, noting that it might be challenging to implement without causing customer dissatisfaction or confusion. This shift comes amidst broader discussions on how businesses balance hospitality with operational practicality.
