High volume Starbucks stores are blocking select electric outlets in order to move sedentary laptop users out of the store. You know the type. Perhaps, you are the type. You take your laptop to the coffee shop, pay too much for something that tastes so good, and take up a chair for the rest of the morning. In some New York Starbucks, they would love for you to move on down the road.
They have a perfect right to take away some of their value proposition. I have a perfect right to go somewhere else.
I’d exercise this right, but I haven’t been in Starbucks in ages. Usually, I go to a restaurant to work. They also have Internet access, and often there is a power supply if you need one.
