James Woods unimpressed by #BigBrotherStarbucks and its new 'potty training' manual

As Twitchy reported, following the arrest of two black men accused of loitering at a Philadelphia location, Starbucks rolled out the welcome mat and declared that “any person who enters our spaces, including patios, cafes and restrooms, regardless of whether they make a purchase, is considered a customer.”

That policy was reinforced yesterday afternoon, as thousands of Starbucks stores closed for mandatory anti-bias training for employees. Fox News reported on that training, which included topics such as “becoming color brave” and adopting the “Third Place Policy” — the one that lets people hang out in the store and not buy anything.

Actor James Woods shared this bit of the training, which focused on approaching these new customers as humans.

And then #BigBrotherStarbucks will help you with potty training… pic.twitter.com/uWU9yqpTBL

Just reading this made me want to do terrible things to a Starbucks bathroom. I wouldn't, of course, probably, but I would think about it. https://t.co/9tBjZM6w3X

I would have fallen asleep before the barista finished her ridiculous screed. https://t.co/brUaMXuONL

So what you are saying is, we can all get a free cup of water just by using foul language? 🙂 https://t.co/PFRvc7JW5h
