Last Sunday, my youngest daughter and I went to a nearby Starbucks to study.
We know that Starbucks' store clerks have restricted customers staying for hours to study or work, so we decided to stay there for only an hour .
The store we visited had a bulletin board at the entrance, which indicates they have two types of tables; one is for ordinary customers for enjoying drinks and chatting, and the other is for those who want to work or study.
For example, a couple of fluffy single couches cannot be used for studying or working.
All customers are not allowed to use computers for a long time at tables for ordinary customers.
The moment we entered the store, almost all tables "for working or studying" were packed.
We barely found a vacant table in the terrace, ordered an orange juice and an iced tea.
We did our homework tasks each for about an hour and disposed our empty cups quickly.
Fortunately, we were not scolded by the clerks or owner for our studying because we didn't study at the inner table.
An incredible thing we saw in front of the dustbin: Almost all the customers with PCs or big workbooks were still doing their work or studying!
We wondered how long they would be going to stay there, and at the same time I could see why the store clerks or owner didn't scold customers occupying the tables for a long time with computers and study materials---at least the store clerks can have more rest thanks to a low turnover.
