On September 25th, Red Star Capital Bureau reported that the topic of "elderly people sitting outside Starbucks for a long time and employees calling the police to persuade them to leave" has become a hot topic on Weibo, attracting attention. Red Star Capital learned from informed sources that due to the intense language of the elderly on site, Starbucks employees were unable to communicate and therefore chose to report to the police in order to avoid conflicts as much as possible.
Today, the police officer in charge of the Shanhu Police Station in Shengzhou City, Zhejiang Province, told Red Star Capital Bureau that yesterday, elderly people were entertaining at the entrance, with many people and loud voices, which affected Starbucks' business. Subsequently, the police officers from Shanhu Police Station arrived at the scene and mediated. They informed the elderly that they could rest in the area, but it should not affect the business of the shops. The elderly immediately left the area. As for whether the outer display area is the operating area of Starbucks, the police have inquired with Baolong Plaza, but have not received a response yet.
Red Star Capital Bureau called the Starbucks store, and the salesperson confirmed with Red Star Capital Bureau that an elderly person had been playing cards in the outdoor area without making any purchases. Currently, the mall has not provided a solution.
