Thanks for all your wonderful input. The homeless issue will be rectified and the store cleaned this week when a board member from Corporate in Seattle comes !! What a relief :) Here are a list of problems at Grove Starbucks: outlets broken, ceiling lights broken, seats/tables stained and broken, short on staff, manager is a tyrant to her staff, homeless shelter issue, product displays a mess, floors are stained, partners/employees feed homeless for free when customers pay to be there, district manager doesn't care.
So there you have a partial list to see what customers are complaining about;)

Starbucks was not set up in 1971 to feet/shelter the homeless and be filthy dirty. There are shelters for that and cleaning services out there to keep the place clean. Come in when it gets renovated for some clean, non-homeless calm :)

Well, I have won the fight against the homeless and the store being filthy. I reached out to corporate in Seattle, Washington as I have been writing on the JC List and they are coming to the store to do a "clean sweep" of the management and get the store back to it's original mission statement.

"Are you an employee there narking on your manager?
NO, I AM A CUSTOMER THAT FREQUENTS STARBUCKS' WHILE TRAVELING THE WORLD FOR WORK. A SAFE PLACE AND A TRUE EXPERIENCE, WHICH WAS THE MISSION OF GORDON BOWKER AND JERRY BALDWIN IN 1968.

I get you're passionate about the whole "Starbuck's Experience" (which sounds very corporate internal training manual to me), but you're coming across as having no compassion for others in your community. The homeless are having an experience, too - it's called getting warm.
STARBUCKS IS NOT A HOMELESS SHELTER FOR THE HOMELESS TO STAY WARM? THAT IS WHY JC HAVE HOMELESS SHELTERS !!! THE PROBLEM WITH THIS COUNTRY IS A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT !!! SAD SAD SAD...EVERYONE CAN WORK IF THEY WANTED...NO?

For those who like and enjoy the Starbucks experience and are paying for it with food/coffee/drink, then the unique experience that Starbucks offers, aside from other coffee shops, should live up to their mission statement. NOT supporting people that don't buy Starbucks food/drink and bring food/drink from another eatery and USE the chairs/tables/outlets for FREE !! People that buy Starbucks should have priority of seats/outlets. And the homeless sleeping in the Starbucks is UNACCEPTABLE !!

Grove Street Starbucks has become a homeless shelter. There are tables and plug outlets being taken up by homeless people that don't buy anything and take up a premium table when paying customers have NO seat to enjoy their "Starbucks" experience, that they are paying for. The manager Dannie and staff has been told and nothing is being done.
If you frequent Starbucks or enjoy our local Starbucks, please comment here and make suggestions to Dannie, the manager and Veronica Park, the district manager.
