Who are the people that sit down at Starbucks?

I don't get it. Too noisy to do work, kind of dirty as no one cleans it up. Nothing appealing. I just order online and leave

At the 3 Starbucks near us, I only see very old people sitting down. Usually in groups. I think it's their social outing for the day.

The one I go to isn't dirty. I'll have a seat when I'm with a friend and chat awhile.

OK? I’ve met people there for work conversations where we don’t want anyone we work with around. I’ve waited with a coffee while I went over my notes ahead of an interview. When I worked near K Street I used to meet friends who worked at other organizations nearby for a coffee rather than a long, expensive lunch.

Don’t worry about it.

I don’t like Starbucks in general, but I can’t imagine feeling the need to pose this question.

Who are the people who order from Starbucks? Nothing there is all that appealing.

I guess everyone has their thing.

Why do you buy drink and food from a place you think is dirty?

Isn't it amazing how people make different choices than you do? It's almost like you're not actually a main character in anything!

Good for you? Why do you care?

It heartens me to see people sitting with other people in real life. The internet will be our demise.

DC has practice nearby and sometimes I will go sit there as opposed to my car if there are no errands to run.

Seriously.

I can't believe you get your coffee from a dirty starbucks. You think the employees who clean up clean the equipment they use to make your coffee?

Who in the world pays $7 for shitty coffee, whether you sit down or not?

Dirty, bad coffee, union busters. I never go to Starbucks; there are so many local coffee shops. Do better.

Back when Starbucks was going for the “third place” vibe with comfortable seating I would regularly meet friends there for coffee and a chat. Didn’t always want to commit to the time and expense of a full meal plus the timing is more flexible. I stopped going when they ditched the cozy leather chairs etc. in favor of hard metal seating. I assumed they were trying to deter people from camping with their laptops all day but I agree it’s no longer a pleasant place to hang out for 45 minutes or so.
