I work retail and this just means we'll get squatting homeless people inside our stores for hours on end. Every cold spell we generally end up calling pd to evict a few customers that refuse to leave upon closing doors. Social services have offered them services before but they're mostly drug addicts and bumbs.

How about you go fuck yourself? If you want them dead, kill them yourself.

That's not what they said. Instead of using stores or restaurants as a shelter, they really should be able to use a cold weather shelter (yes I know they are mostly at night but still).

A low wage worker should not be the ones responsibile to kick someone out. But loitering homeless people take up spots used by paying customers and harrass patrons asking for money. Businesses should have the right to refuse service to anyone. It is not their responsibility to provide shelter to people. That falls to the government or a charity.

Patrons also complain about homeless population in their stores and give small businesses a poor review in addition to staying away from them.

That was putting words into that poster's mouth which was perhaps unfair.

How about you offer services, no strings attached! They have been offered services, but refuse to accept the terms and conditions.
