fred meyer on wheaton way previously had a nice area by starbucks to sit and eat your lunch, browse the internet, use your laptop, use the microwave after you bought your microwavable meal in their store, now they have nothing available. when you ask the store manager why they took out the microwave, that was a few months ago, now today i brought my own lunch and i had to charge my phone and i found all the electrical circuits were covered with plastic plates so they couldn't be used! i talked to the manager why they had done all this and of course it was blamed on the homeless people who sat in there and maybe had some starbucks coffee charge their phone had their lunch! the first thing that was wrong that i reported was that starbucks did not maintain the microwave, did not wipe down the tables, did not empty the garbage that had flies coming out of it, never wiped off the nec napkin holders. the lunchroom was not maintained in any kind of health department condition. i never saw any out of control homeless people loitering around in the lunch area.
i complained to the manager and rather than real starbucks to keep it clean they removed the microwave. now they have removed the electrical circuit. and now nobody's in there at all i talked to the manager and i said well nobody's in your lunch room because you offer nothing! he immediately said it was because homeless people were hanging out in there. i do know several homeless people who came in the lunchroom who were neat and clean who may be charged their phone or got on their laptop so they can possibly get a job!
i am tired of the lack of services and the laziness of workers who are untrained and have no idea how to treat a customer and having it all blamed on homeless people!
we are all humans and we all have problems and some of us are a lot better than others in somebody's judgment but to blame everything that goes wrong in your business so that you can shut half of it down and blame it on homeless people is freaking ridiculous there were a lot of nice clean people maybe they were shopping for groceries and they wanted to take a break and visit with their husband and sit in the lunchroom now there's nothing in there and there are any people there either so i hope it backs up on them and they suffer and they lose business because of it. read more
