Dunno about Starbucks specifically; but many fastfood places near me keep the bathroom doors locked.

You've gotta ask for the key which usually comes on a big ass stick/keyring/keyfob thing to make it really hard to forget or walk out of the store with it.

Some even have electronic locks with a button behind the counter. They 'buzz' you into the bathroom like a damn security checkpoint.
