[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I literally never have trouble finding a seat at Starbucks. I'm sorry that happened to some of you one time but also if that is your biggest problem...

Starbucks explicitly markets itself as a place to go and work for longer periods of time. There are other coffee shops that don't do that. In DC there's Baked & Wired in NoMa and the last time I was there they didn't even offer wifi because they wanted to deter people going there to work. That's a fantastic coffee shop with great coffee and really good fresh baked goods. It's also huge.

It's okay for there to be different places for different uses. Starbucks wants to be a destination for people who want to camp out and work and most people who do that actually do spend quite a bit of money there.[/quote]

Actually, no, Starbucks doesn’t want you moochers there “camping” out. Can you not tell how cold and uncomfortable they have made stores? They are trying to nudge you out the door with cold tables, hard chairs, foot traffic and drafts from the door. They want tables turned, not occupied by laptop weirdos for 6 hours every day.
