[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's ironic that the people insisting that libraries and Starbucks function as homeless shelters because "they have a perfect right to be there" are probably the exact same people bemoaning that Denmark and Japan are such nice clean societies and "we could be like that if it wasn't for (Boogeyman)....". What do you think they do with their schizophrenic population? Because that's what most homeless people are. The down-on-his-luck, mentally healthy person who just needs a bed and a job isn't homeless for long.
I worked at Starbucks 15 years ago and their goal back then was to be like "Cheers" without booze....somewhere people could relax as long as they wanted and converse with friends. They actually encouraged the employees to start conversations with patrons.
I've been to that same Starbucks recently and they've removed most of the seating for a giant "mobile order pickup" area. The majority of the people coming in and out are Uber Eats delivery guys. The few seats are taken up by the laptop crowd. I sat down with a friend to catch up and the lady next to us was annoyed and asked us to keep quiet because she was trying to work. I'm not going back again.
