NEW YORK, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- Starbucks has announced it is 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 on Monday the new rules are designed to help prioritize paying customers. Anderson said most other retailers already have similar rules.
