[QUOTE="Intervention302, post: 16085225, member: 107855"] My father and I just had a discussion about this sort of thing. We run a few Dairy Queens in NH. In Manchester, the biggest city of about 110K, definitely has an issue with homelessness as well as drugs/heroin use. Currently, our city is being sued by the ACLU about police treatment of homeless. Essentially, they are beginning to camp on the local business streets in front of vacant buildings. Nearby business owners are concerned that its beginning to diminish the amount of foot traffic to our busiest street. Yet, legally, the police are not able to tell them to move on Anyway, back to our specific situation. We have a group of homeless that live in a nearby park. They come in multiple times each day (as many as 8-10 times maybe) to use the bathroom. Of which, sometimes they can be in there for upwards of 20 minutes on occasions. I'm not trying to be a prick, but when I get complaints from customers that the bathroom is busy, we have got to start to do something. Last week, a different group of homeless came in to warm up. They began to ask my customers for change and I drew the line at that. A customer however did not like me talking to them about it and bought them a meal [/QUOTE]
