    Question Do you go to Starbucks to drink coffee and use your laptop?

    Why are there people just sitting there using their laptop? What if I want to go in there, grab a coffee and a bagel, and just want to sit there peacefully while I eat and drink? Why are you working on your term paper or fantasy football league or writing a report for work? Is it just me, or does this bug some of you too? I'm forced to sit outside in the heat or the cold because all the good seats are taken inside cause it's laptop time at Starbucks.

    How is you sitting in there staring at your phone posting on ISH any different? Those people are probably doing something more meaningful than crying about liberals all day.

    Too much animosity from you. However, I'm referring to people who have clearly finished their coffee and meal and stay there to do their work, taking up prime real estate. The only times I'm on ISH are from work or home.

    Are you at a Starbucks right now?? I bet you are.

    I remember when I was 15 or 16 I used to work at Carl's Jr(aka Hardees) here in California. The same dudes would come in all the time and order just a drink and they'd sit there for hours playing an rpg. It didn't bug me, but they could've sure used a little more sunlight.

    Humans are social creatures they like to be in public even if it’s just by themselves reading or working on their laptop. That’s why the shut downs were so horrific.

    And Starbucks isn’t the only public spot people just sit for hours. Bars still exist. In fact Starbucks or a coffee house is just the sober hipster techy college career person version of a bar.

    No, Starbucks is too pricy for just some coffee. I go to some other coffee shops in my area and I enjoy bringing my laptop and sitting there from time to time. I just put my headphones on and get to work. Helps me stay productive

    Honestly, sitting inside of a Starbucks to drink your coffee and eat your bagel is weirder than people working.

    Could be people having WiFi issues at home, hanging while work is being done at their home, have family at the house and don’t won’t the be distracted, etc.

    Yeah it's weird just to eat and drink inside a restaurant. If I'm not working on my laptop, doing my taxes, and folding my clothes, it just doesn't seem right.

    It's weirder that anyone in NYC would choose to get their bagel from Starbucks in the first place
