I'm curious, is there anyone reading this who does not go to coffee chat because it's at a Starbucks? Just reply "me", I don't want to start a debate here (start another thread if you want).

I plan on coming tomorrow, but at the same time, "me".

I don't care too much that it's at Starbucks, but if I had a choice I think a local coffee place would be a bit nicer experience than Starbucks. Overall it's no big deal to me though.

Local coffee shops, you better be buying coffee, every hour, you sit in there. In Star-bucks you can sit there for 3 hrs with 1 coffee bought by one person.

I agree, local is better. Location ,ease of access, visibility are all the reasons why Starbucks was chosen I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I know you guys will!!!) but I thought it was a common outdoor seating area for the local cluster of food and drink places. I think that there was some discussion on this forum a while back when it was generally agreed that you were welcome to sit there whether you want to buy from Starbucks, buy from somewhere else or buy nothing from no-one at all.

This is correct.. but in the past there were still some people who claimed they didn't want to go because it was Starbucks.
