I sometimes wonder what has happened to compassion. As I was standing in line I noticed a young homeless guy walk in. He appeared to be in heat distress. His face was bright red and he appeared disoriented. He remained next to the front door as if needing to cool down for a few minutes. A male employee immediately yelled at him to leave. I explained that the poor guy just needed to cool down for a few minutes. I was told that they'd had issues with the guy before. Regardless, the situation should have been handled more tactlfully, with the employee quietly escorting the guy out. I walked out without ordering, not wishing to give this establishment my money. I will never set foot in this Starbucks again.
