Why are power outlets disappearing from Bay Area stores?
I recently stopped by another Oakland Starbucks and glanced under the tables to see the outlet situation for myself. Just like in the TikTok video, they were all covered up with blank faceplates. When I asked the baristas why this was, they echoed that it was due to concerns over unhoused people — but said they didn’t agree with the decision.
Starbucks spokesperson Sam Jefferies said the decision to get rid of power outlets is up to individual store managers as well as district managers. He explained that the decision can be made for a variety of reasons.
