Anybody ever done this at Starbucks?

[Cockney Mackem]

I couldn't work in a noisy coffee shop like. Work in a sodding house or an office or a library like every bugger else.

I'd like to work out the cups per minute and opportunity cost of having the seats occupied all day but i have an exam in a few hours and should probably revise for that

And you'd probably get the numbers wrong

Could just fancy a strawberries and cream frapuccino

I'm not entirely against the possibility of strangling you

Well i do keep PM'ing you about it.

Half an hour or so on your tablet or laptop is one thing, but the thought of these freaks rocking up at Starbucks with shedloads of computer equipment just totally cracks me up!

I saw a video the other day of someone wheeling in and unloading a family sized trolley suitcase full of IT gear complete with circa 1995 CRT monitor just like the one in the OP

Costa is far better coffee

Use a laptop in a Starbucks (or similar)? Yes. Was working from home, there was a power cut in my building so my Wi-Fi router was dead. Went to the coffee place round the corner, got stung for a stupidly overpriced drink and worked from there until the lights came on again.

A lot of my work is freelance, so I'm often sat on a train or a plane actually doing the work, then need to mail it somewhere on arrival. Again, the local cafe is just the job for that. Wouldn't want to do it all day, every day, but it has its uses.

Never been in one.

I concur.

 

[Teed]

Never been in one.

Me neither, don't think I'll ever go in one.

Bloody hell. I don't know how many Starbucks there are, but there's a hell of a lot of hot air balloons over the North East today by the looks of things.

Going for a coffee is for middle-aged wimen imo Teed.

No I don't mean people using a laptop or whatever, that's normal. It's the people who wheel suitcases full of flight simulation equipment in that just kill me

You just know when he pulls back his pretendy "throttle" it will fall off the edge of the table. Unless he's blu-tacked it down

 

[Tongey]

One at thinford roundabout. Obviously no one knows how to get in it though

Have to use it every day for work (the roundabout, not starbucks) and its not a bad roundabout

Worst roundabout ever lol x

It's not that bad. Seems worse because not enough people know how to use the right lanes,

True, people do it because they think it's trendy, drinking, trendy, who would have thunk?

That would keep me entertained just watching the freak. I love people watching, its the best coffee shop sport there is.

I actually go to a coffee shop because I like a relaxing coffee, and I get to watch all the oddities walk by.

I think this is the same blerk as in my OP. On a different day. That's his special Starbucks flight sim suitcase in the corner. People - it wasn't even his first time.

He^^^ should look happier than he does tbh, he's saved himself 23p in electricity. But better than that, complete strangers now know that he owns a MAC.

Mission accomplished.

100% agree. Lads who meet up and go for a coffee are absolute wrang'uns/Greek/Italian.

Same as lads who buy birthday presents for each other. It's just not right.
