Starbucks exploring adding needle-disposal boxes in bathrooms following petition

Starbucks is exploring installing needle-disposal boxes in the bathrooms of certain stores to provide a safe way of throwing out syringes and other drug paraphernalia.
The company’s announcement comes after more than 3,000 people signed a petition on Coworker.org calling on the coffee giant to provide a safe way of disposing of needles used for drugs that are left inside bathrooms.Pedestrians walk outside the Spruce St. Starbucks store on May 29, 2018 in Philadelphia.
