The Dori Monson Show is on KIRO Newsradio (weekdays Noon-3).

Dori Monson Show listener Linda stopped by a Seattle-area Starbucks this weekend and was flabbergasted by the sign she saw there.

Apparently the coffee megachain has no problem with non-customers coming in just to use the bathroom, but it draws the line at paper straw usage.

Linda wrote, “You can shoot up in the bathroom, occupy a table all day long and not purchase anything, but now you have to ASK for a PAPER straw … I’m also glad we invested in a wonderful coffee machine.”

Do you still support Starbucks, or are you with Linda and going for the coffee machine instead?
