- marcosdumay 3y agoThat is... I don't even know how to understand this. People just stand around the tables were? Are they ok with this? Does it fit more people?
- walterbell 3y agoFirst they took the chairs and people stood at the tables. Then they took the tables and people stand by the windows or counter. Those who know other options will leave or not enter, but there's enough visitors in midtown who can visit a location once and never return. If it's particularly hot or cold weather, standing inside may be better than sitting outside. Time will tell if Starbucks fractures into Sitbucks and Standbucks.
