On Monday, Starbucks announced that—after almost seven years—it was rolling back its open-door policy. It’s a reversal of a change made in 2018 after two black men were arrested simply for being in the store.

Starbucks has ended its open-door policy, which allowed anyone, not just a customer, to use its spaces without buying anything.

The coffee chain has reversed its policy introduced in North America in 2018 that let anyone use its facilities, it has today (Tuesday January 14) confirmed.

Starbucks, long synonymous with the idea of a "third space" between home and work, has reversed its open-door policy.

The new code of conduct also bans discrimination or harassment, consumption of alcohol, smoking, drug use, and panhandling in company owned stores.

Starbucks reversed a major policy that was first enacted back in 2018, partially due to a decline in sales. But how will it impact you?
