In a surprising turn of events, Starbucks has announced the reversal of its open-door policy that allowed non-paying customers to use the restrooms. The new rule, effective immediately, requires all patrons to make a purchase before gaining access to the facilities.

The decision comes after months of complaints from customers and employees about non-paying individuals taking advantage of the policy. Starbucks CEO, Amanda Wesson, stated that the change was necessary to maintain a welcoming environment for paying customers.

This reversal of the open-door policy has sparked mixed reactions among Starbucks regulars. Some have expressed relief, citing concerns about cleanliness and safety, while others have voiced disappointment at the loss of a convenient perk.

Despite the new rule, Starbucks has assured customers that the company remains committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all. They have also announced plans to increase the number of public restrooms in their locations to accommodate the change.
