Starbucks' new purchase-required policy reverses the open door rule put in place after a store called police on Black men waiting for a meeting.

Starbucks is ending its open-door policy, prioritizing access for paying customers and employees. The coffeehouse chain will no longer allow just anyone to hang out in its cafes or use its bathrooms.

Its "open door policy" is now being altered, ostensibly to "deter homeless people and non-paying customers who have come to use Starbucks solely for shelter and bathroom access," as per Jordan Valinsky and Nathaniel Meyersohn with CNN. You must now be a paying customer to use the space.
