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.
It’s been awhile since I went to a library, but are there places for taking remote meetings to avoid disturbing others?
To add on to the other replies here, both of the two closest libraries to me have several small rooms for this as well.
Oftentimes, yes. Mine has a series of little rooms. They are often used by teens working on homework together.
My local one has 10 or so small rooms for maybe 3-4 people max, and 2 larger conference rooms that could easily hold 30+ people each. It’s not even one of the bigger city libraries either. The ones down town have even more facilities.
Other than meeting rooms, I’ve seen some with the little privacy pods too.
