If you want to hang out or use the restroom at Starbucks, you’re going to have to buy something.

Starbucks on Monday said it was reversing a policy that invited everyone into its stores. A new code of conduct – which will be posted in all company-owned North American stores – also bans discrimination or harassment, consumption of outside alcohol, smoking, vaping, drug use and panhandling.

Starbucks spokesperson Jaci Anderson said the new rules are designed to help prioritize paying customers. Anderson said most other retailers already have similar rules.

How does it harm your child in any way to see book covers about gender topics?

Also, never, ever take them into a bookstore if that sort of thing is too damaging for them. They might see something like this and be immediately corrupted! They put them right there out in the open on display!

The ones I've seen are designed like kids cereal boxes. This topic is so vogue and I'm not saying ban them. Just not have them displayed as a hot item. Mental illness affects more people than anything, I never see those books promoted as a hot item.

Romance love novels are hilarious, I'm sorry they affend you. I think they are kinda ridiculous. I never see those displayed as the hot item.

My wife and I are very affectionate and hold each other similar to this, so my kids see what love looks like.

Sorry, are you saying transgender people are all mentally ill?

[–] Papacito8400@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'm saying there are more people with mental health issues than there are people having gender identity crises.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Okay? I'm not sure how that's even relevant to how book covers about gender identity harm your child but overtly sexual book covers do not.

[–] Papacito8400@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I never see them displayed/promoted as the hot item as I previously mentioned.

Yet again, how does it harm your child to see those book covers as "hot items?"
