I stopped hanging out at Starbucks (even as a patron) a long time ago because the company made their shops un-hangable. Whatever that’s fine and it’s the company’s prerogative.

What strikes me is the continued loss of third spaces in society. Where do people just hang out for a while anymore?
If you want to hang out or use the restroom at Starbucks, you’re going to have to buy something.

Starbucks on Monday said it was reversing a policy that invited everyone into its stores.
