Had never been to this location before, new to town but went to this store in small shopping complex with a friend to purchase gift cards, which I keep on hand. Friend asked me to get him sandwich from place next door. We go & are there 5 min. We go outside & before I go into Starbucks, friend noticed orange sticker on my car window. Starbucks has vulture lurking in shadows just waiting 4 cust to "leave premises" so they can boot your car & charge you $75 to unboot. There are signs in large lettering sayng parking for Starbucks only, then in smaller lettering something about not leaving premises, which I would define as premises of shopping area, which is the norm, because WHO DOES THIS? Plus, I paid attention to part saying For Starbucks customers so I wasnt worried because thats why I was there. Tried to explain this to vulture, but he's only following instructions given by Starbucks mgmt. According, to their 'rules', it does not matter whether you buy $100 of Starbucks, if u then step a toe outside of "premises" whatever that is, you get booted. This is obviously nice way for them to supplement the days reciepts. $75 cup of coffee or gift cards or whatever is tidy little profit for them.
