It's true, I can flirt in person at B&N, and Amazon.com provides no such functionality! I go there for the experience of getting out of my house and walking around in the presence of actual people (I work from home). The coffee shop isn't really as inviting as Starbucks or Caribou, though, in my locality, though it is nice enough. They just stopped charging for wifi a few months ago.
- mkramlich 16y agoSame here, and I also often work from home or coffee shops. I live in suburban Colorado and there are 3 places nearby I can go to almost assuredly see good looking women on a daily basis, even weekdays, even the middle of the day: Target, B&N and Starbucks. (Target is the most reliable, for whatever reason.) Walmart tends to have the worst looking women, so even if I could get groceries there a few cents cheaper per item, it's just not worth the impact on my overall quality of life. One advantage to B&N over Starbucks is that at Starbucks I feel obligated to buy something as micro-rent for the table space, even if I'm not hungry/thirty. At B&N I have the excuse of browsing for books and magazines, so every trip can be free, guilt-free. Starbucks has awesome bathrooms though, and lower chance of screamers, er, I mean, kids.
