The Filth of Forest Hills Skid Row: Starbucks Cleans Up But.....

After last weeks mess in front of Starbucks (118-24 Queens Blvd), where it seems the employees don’t clean up in front of their store men are allowed to bother residents and customers with their panhandling (I guess that is a job), THE FILTH OF FOREST HILLS immediately contacted Starbucks Headquarters with photos and complaints and received a response within a couple of hours (can’t be said of the hack local elected officials though):

Customer (02/18/2018 08:32 AM)

Starbucks location (118-24 Queens Blvd, Kew Gardens, NY 11415). The outside of this store is ALWAY filthy with litter that seems to NEVER get swept. Yesterday (2.17.18), a starbucks cup and other litter was seen in the morning and today (2.18.18) not only is that stuff still
there, but more litter and garbage. ALSO homeless men hang out inside the store bothering people for money and they hang outside always bothering customers. See photos at https://thefilthofforesthillsqueens.wordpress.com/

NOW DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

Hello Joe,

Thank you for contacting Starbucks. I just finished reading your email and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with us.

Joe,
I apologize for the disappointing experience you had at the store. This is not the experience we want you to have at our stores. I want you to know that we take your concerns
seriously and I will share your feedback with the District Manager to address this.

Please know that you are recognized as one of our most valued and loyal customers and causing you any amount of inconvenience is the last thing we want to do.

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to fix something that went wrong.

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,
Everlyn B.

And the rest of the week it seems they got their act together and started cleaning up regularly and not letting one of the regular Forest Hills homeless men stand there anymore (but the one just moved down to
the liquor store, Chinese Take-Out and the deli place).

BUT other businesses still are not getting their act or trash together and helping to keep the community they do business in CLEAN. Here is a mess found at 12:00pm on 2.24.18, plenty of time to clean up, but piles of garbage lie there. The culprit, could be any of these fine establishments from the the Skin Care Foot Spa or the Chinese Take-Out. DOS can have a field day handing out fines for NOT cleaning up in front of these establishments.

While the corner of Queens Blvd & 78 Ave has had the huge pile of garbage removed, today saw some discarded items from the slobs. Again, where is CVS or Superior Haircuts where this is located.

AND where are the overly paid hack elected officials of this neighborhood of a million dollar and up homes, the high priestess of HACK, Queens Borough President Melinda Katz and the other hack, Karen Koslowitz (I mean you could not contact Starbucks or would that mean you would actually have to lift a hand).

In the meantime, FOREST SKID ROW still is seeing a surge in panhandling from aggressive, mentally ill, drug addicted single men from the very problematic homeless shelter, Comfort Inn on Queens Blvd in Kew Gardens.

Residents of the exclusive FOREST HILLS GARDENS, might want to be on the watch-out, because your elected officials are selling you out. It is amazing that a small minority of homeless mean are allowed to reek
havoc on this community, while little is being done about it. But I guess that would infringe on the rights of this group of people conducting their “business”. Cannot have that in fake progressive liberal NYC with the biggest hack and fake, Mayor deBlasio, who helped to create this disaster with poor policies.
