Starbucks announced a new code of conduct for its North American stores that reverses a 2018 policy that allowed nonpaying customers to use its facilities.

Starbucks, long synonymous with the idea of a "third space" between home and work, has reversed its open-door policy.

The new code of conduct also bans discrimination or harassment, consumption of alcohol, smoking, drug use, and panhandling in company owned stores.

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 is ending its open-door policy, and will start requiring people to be paying customers to hang out in stores and use restrooms.

Starbucks has a new code of conduct as part of its plan to make stores more welcoming and win back consumers, the company said.

Starbucks is ending its open-door policy, prioritizing access for paying customers and employees. The coffeehouse chain will no longer allow just anyone to hang out in its cafes or use its bathrooms.
