[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, so you should be able to sit and "work" there for hours but no one else should?

I personally think 20-30 min limit for everyone at a coffee shop is very reasonable. [/quote]

I'm buying stuff. If they want to enforce 20-30 minutes for paying customers, fine, but would result in lost business not only from people who work from these spots, but also (for example) friends wanting to meet up for coffee. Most of those meetups would be more like an hour, not 20 minutes. [/quote]

So you think your $5 latte entitles you take up their space for an entire day? And you don't see a problem with that. If you need to work, go rent a place, go to the library, work from home. Starbucks is a business. They need to turn tables and sell products. I would love if they enforced the 20-30 min limit on everyone. [/quote]

But would if I want to order $20 worth of drinks and food and stay for 3 hours? I do that all the time and spend a ton of money at Starbucks. If they limited me to 20-30 minutes, I would not go at all and would find another coffee shop that would let me stay for longer because the whole point for me is finding a place with a pleasant atmosphere, food/drink, and wifi so that I can get a break from my home office and interact with people instead of being a shut in. I probably wouldn't go to Starbucks at all if it didn't serve this purpose, and I bet I spend a lot more money there than most people.[/quote]

I love the entitlement. Go to the office and interact with people!!!!!!!!![/quote]
