Starbucks in San Francisco has been removing indoor seating from its stores. The move has sparked criticism from locals who say it is classist and ableist, and that it is an attempt to bar homeless individuals from entering. However, a barista at one location said that Starbucks removed seating due to homeless individuals and people with mental illnesses around the neighborhood. The lack of furniture has stripped the sense of community that the Castro location formerly had, according to an employee. Starbucks said that stores operate under various formats, which include grab-and-go, drive-thrus, and full-service cafes, and that local cafe leaders make decisions on how they want to modify store operations.
