Omnivore - Feng shui and trash disposal at Starbucks

One too many trash cans

You know how sometimes people new to authority establish a completely strange rule. Here’s one case at the Ansley Starbucks. A district manager insisted that the trash receptacle by the front door be removed. A barista told me they’ve been having constant complaints, so he put the trash just outside the door.

I cannot imagine what the logic is behind this. As it’s now set up, you have to go to the rear of the store and put your trash in the receptacles that are part of the sweetners-cream bar - which is often crowded. Maybe it is all about feng shui.
