News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I'm sure the workers will be excited to learn they get to deal with becoming bouncers too. The general population is so fun to deal with these days as it is.
It’s not like that’s new? They already gotta trespass people. Just an open door policy leads to people being even shittier because that’s corporate policy so you can’t kick me out and blah blah blah.
Just like… there’s a lot of other bullshit to be mad at Starbucks over this really doesn’t matter compared to their union busting or other bullshit.
If someone is going to get belligerent about being asked to leave, I promise you that their beligerence is complete unphased by corporate policy.
Exactly. Basically a paragraph long way to say ‘I have no retail experience’ without those exact words.
Uhg I wrote a post and got sidetracked before hitting post RIP.
Anyways point was more about being able to ask people to leave at all (from what I remember the change was very you can’t kick people out cuz the Philly store did a no no. Maybe that changed after the initial backlash or maybe I’m misremembering it as a specific person my friend who was a manager at the time wasn’t allowed to kick out for some specific reason, idk man it’s been ages since my friends worked there and since that change.) but also mostly just… idk I am not particularly saying it’s super good and perfect change just that it doesn’t seem like a big deal either way. People are acting like this is some big evil change and I don’t get it. Like it’s Starbucks, they’re a for profit company not a public park I don’t see why this matters much one way or the other. They weren’t offering some beautiful after school enrichment or anything super crazy they’re just going back to their old policy.
