I love the scene in Shrek when a bunch of people are in a Starbucks that gets crushed, and they run outside to the Starbucks across the street.
Today I was working at the Starbucks by Times Square (which one? you ask, yes there are many in Times Square. I went to the first one where I could find a table)
After a few hours I saw a homeless man go into the bathroom and lock the door, and there he stayed for about an hour. Eventually I told the Starbucks staff what was going on. I needed to use the restroom so I left there and went to Astor Place Starbucks, my soon to be neighborhood, and where I was meeting Roy for dinner later.
I walked in and saw there was a line of 10 people to use the *single* restroom there. So I walked about 100 feet (ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a little) to the other Astor Place Starbucks, where I immediately used the restroom and bought my second coffee for the day.
How can it be legal to build 100 person seat Starbucks's and only have one restroom?
