Starbucks is adding designated boxes for the disposal of drug injection needles after receiving a fine for unsanitary conditions that were endangering its workers.

The company had received a fine from the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration for the frequency of used injection needles that were being found in the store’s bathrooms. In response, the coffee chain will install disposal boxes in store bathrooms in more than 25 cities.

But I should be allowed to have my drugs and I should be allowed to put that in the faces of the everyday citizen.

It like about time, drug addicts have it tough enough already, like they shouldn’t have to worry about where to dispose of their needles

If there's anything most drug addicts need, its a ten dollar cup of coffee.

Put the box on the counter by the TIP jar. Kind of a “Take a penny, leave a penny” thing.

I’m sure those same homeless addicts taking a shite on those bathroom floors wasn’t an issue at all.

Because if there is one thing drug addicts are known for, it’s properly disposing of trash in it’s designated container.

Exactly

Seattle has teams of needle collectors that sweep the streets clean of needles every morning

I would have to literally be on drugs to enter a Starbucks.

A $10.00 cup of coffee, please.

Double Quick, 20 oz for $1.19 is the way to go.

I mostly just use Starbucks for emergency deuce stops when traveling. I figure might as well take advantage of the open bathroom policy.

I walk in and walk out like a boss. Ain’t nobody can tell me nothin

Make sure to use the women's restroom since that doesn't matter to Starbucks either.
