I have just been asked to leave Starbucks!!!

[Rannaldini]

I am furious!

I have just been asked to leave Starbucks as I was only drinking coffee and not breastfeeding a baby.
Apparently you can only drink coffee in their store if you breastfeed at the same time.

I tried to stand my ground and say that I could drink my coffee wherever I felt like but they said
"not in here, please only come back if you are breastfeeding"

Was I being unreasonable?

Well I think it was disgusting and she was right to throw you out. I was denied the opportunity to lech over your fine mammaries and then write an outraged letter to the Daily Mail.

A bap-flashmob Shodan?

YABU because I 'got' this which may mean I spend too much time on MN.

YABU

Make them some breastmilk muffins as a peace offering.

OK have no idea what this about or why, but, it made me laugh so hard I have had a coughing fit. [bblush]. Actually worth benig at home with chest infection when freds like this appear.

I tried to buy some food to go with my coffee and in the end they said I could stay but only if I took my coffee and food and ate it in the toilet

Or you could have offered to breast feed the manager in return for a comfy chair and a table.

"..they said I could stay but only if I took my coffee and food and ate it in the toilet"

oho, var good, see what you did there !

You can buy special, overpriced, bits of material these days to look like you are brestfeeding. HTH.

It bugs me getting thrown out of places, not because you get thrown out but because they do not refund your entrance fee or for your drink

Starbucks BM latte for the discerning customer.

Is that what Starbucks mean when they ask if they should leave room for milk?

I always take one of these when I go to Starbucks to avoid this kind of trouble.

That's the kind of thing I had in mind MmeLindt.

Works well with one of <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.carosta.com/dolls-teddy-bears/hailey-needs-a-hug.jpg&imgrefurl=www.carosta.com/dolls-teddy-bears/&h=400&w=400&sz=31&tbnid=7gRu_IIM8NPzJM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dlifelike%2Bbaby%2Bdolls&zoom=1&q=lifelike+baby+dolls&hl=en&usg=__TOPPLSo1GyU8QASw_iGpaOGfOKk=&sa=X&ei=C7s-TfHZMJODhQfl8Mz5Cg&ved=0CDsQ9QEwAw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these!

I'm off work with a fractured leg... oh MN how I've missed you [bgrin]

Wincy
Oh, yes. Assuming that Rannaldini did not have a child under 10 yo with her, she would need a true to life substitute.

All my tops are adjusted for Starbucks. Dc who's 12 refuses to go with me.

OK shockers your fractured leg trumps my chest infection.
But this daytime MNing is fun isn't it.
Even if I ssssssoooooo don't get the origin of most threads they are hilarious.

My Starbucks is very liberal.

This is me

This is the chap next to me

Yours sounds very uptight and not at all the norm!

I splash a bit of vodka around my norks before I go in there - works every time. Once they got a bit suspicious (had a subway up my jumper as my youngest ds is now 10 and won't play along any more) so I followed an old lady and shouted at her in the toilet for standing in front of the baby change. Seemed to do the trick.

Did you stand in the queue without first reserving a table? I hear they don't like that.

I was in Cafe Nero earlier with a breastfeeding mother, but was not BFing personally, would I have been allowed in this Starbucks?
