row_33 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I have parked my caboose at Starbucks for hundreds of hours each year, well before I order and well after I've finished my drink. If I'm holding up others I will gladly leave. Even dressed in rags with a week's growth they have never even looked at my pasty self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the first problem with it is that it is still illegal for me to just whip it out and take a leak on the sidewalk. I think therefore, this law should be struck down until the government making that law also give an alternative public place to do your business. Until then, any place that serves the public should also have a public rest room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I'm finding a lot of new restaurants and businesses do not have washroom facilities in Toronto. Fortunately I concur with George Costanza on knowing the best public facilities in every block in the downtown core. 1 hour ago, DC Tom said: If an Apple Store refused to sell a black man an iPhone, between that and Starbucks the SJWs would probably commit mass suicide. The SJWs like to pretend their favourite demographics of Islam and "alternative sexuality" aren't in literally death-penalty opposition to each other. Someday soon that will have to break as well.

I can understand though, what with all your French-Canadians that bathrooms aren't all that necessary. Edited April 18, 2018 by 3rdnlng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just try to go to the chains that I frequent. I know where a great public facility is located off of I-94 on the far South Side of Chicago... Really close to where your pal Barry got his Chicago start. Run by the Department of Army... Or as we call it: "the comfort station." Very Army clean too. Best kept secret public facility in all of Chicgao for the wary road traveller, brought to you by your Federal tax dollars. I'd think you'd even be impressed what comfort the federal gov't can afford people. But it's only open from sunrise to sunset... But name drop, I am sure the staff on duty will let you use it after hours. If you are lucky, you may even get to meet your favorite board member.

B-Man Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Impoverished Kenyan Bean Picker Can’t Wait To See What Starbucks Has To Say About Racial Sensitivity NYERI, KENYA—Reacting to news that Starbucks will close more than 8,000 locations for a day to conduct anti-discrimination training, impoverished Kenyan bean picker Adamu Mwangi told reporters Wednesday he couldn’t wait to hear the international coffee giant’s perspectives on racial sensitivity. “I think this could turn out to be really interesting,” said Mwangi, who added that after completing a 14-hour shift Saturday harvesting beans for Starbucks’ Kenya-brand coffee, the highlight of his week had been reading what CEO Kevin Johnson had to say about how minorities are treated by his multibillion-dollar corporation. “Not every company is willing to take on an issue as complicated as race, and I’m just excited to find out how they plan to address inequality moving forward. Hopefully, we’ll see some real, concrete change from this.” At press time, sources confirmed Mwangi had been beaten unconscious on the job after being inspired by Starbucks to engage his fellow farmhands in a discussion about racial injustice in all its forms. https://www.theonion.com/impoverished-kenyan-bean-picker-can-t-wait-to-see-what-1825356065 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
