Don't pour the bacon fat left in the pan down the drain! Either sop it up with paper towels when it has cooled a bit, or pour it into a jar to be used later (see rendering bacon fat).

Each store can set their own rules oberliner Apr 2018 #9

True, but the store in question didnt have a rule - at least not outside of the managers head EffieBlack Apr 2018 #13

VERY doubtful ANY Starbuck's store has different rule from another since ALL of them in USA Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #15

Oh I think if they have rules allowing loiterers in one store and not another Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #44

I dont think so EffieBlack Apr 2018 #45

I dont think all stores need to have the same policy EffieBlack Apr 2018 #38

100 percent agree oberliner Apr 2018 #61

Oh and I have to say...such policies do not make sense. Why would you do this? So Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #19
