If you want to hang out or use the restroom at Starbucks, you’re going to have to buy something.

Starbucks on Monday said it was reversing a policy that invited everyone into its stores. A new code of conduct – which will be posted in all company-owned North American stores – also bans discrimination or harassment, consumption of outside alcohol, smoking, vaping, drug use and panhandling.

Starbucks spokesperson Jaci Anderson said the new rules are designed to help prioritize paying customers. Anderson said most other retailers already have similar rules.

      I’m saying there are more people with mental health issues than there are people having gender identity crises.

        Okay? I’m not sure how that’s even relevant to how book covers about gender identity harm your child but overtly sexual book covers do not.

          I never see them displayed/promoted as the hot item as I previously mentioned.

            Yet again, how does it harm your child to see those book covers as “hot items?”

              Same reason I don’t show them playboys, they are too young. We can agree to disagree.

                You won’t show them the front cover of a Playboy?

                They’re too young to see this?

                Do you also refuse to take them to a swimming pool or beach?

                  You think it’s ok for 1st graders to look at Playboys and penthouse sicko?

                    By your comments you probably think it’s okay to take kids to church or have faith in a magic sky daddy. These are much more harmful and fake things
