Starbucks pulls back access for people who don't pay

• Starbucks later apologized, reached a settlement with them and trained its workers on racial biases.

The big picture: The shift is part of a new code of conduct at Starbucks cafes.

What they're saying: "By setting clear expectations for behavior and use of our spaces, we can create a better environment for everyone," Starbucks spokesperson Jaci Anderson says.

Between the lines: It's one of the first big changes after the company hired CEO Brian Niccol, who is under pressure to pull off a turnaround amid disappointing sales.

• "Our values, developed with input from hundreds of partners, aren't changing," Niccol wrote Thursday in a message posted on Starbuck's website before the policy change surfaced.
