Today I had to go to Starbucks to meet some friends for a meeting, I like Starbucks, not to the point it's my everyday, I can't live without it drink, but I love enjoying my occasional Macchiato, Frap or my ultimate fave, Verry Berry Hibiscus Refreshers. Anyways, as usual it was a busy place. I think every Starbucks everywhere is busy. I had to be a semi creeper, creeping on people to leave their tables so I can snatch them. Somewhere enough for all of us. Lol. When I found a table for 4, I sat there with my drink, and had this urge to take out my laptop. I didn't have to do any work really, but without someone to meet yet, I felt like I had to have a laptop in front of me to "blend in". Then I had this thought, why do people really study in Starbucks? From Manila to here in Winnipeg, it's a common scene. MacBooks in particular, papers, notebooks, on the small coffee tables. Sometimes with a drink, sometimes with nothing. With the free wifi in the establishment, you're set. Does it help people to concentrate? I mean, this has to be effective to be this mainstream right? Well, this post was mostly a random thought I dare not ask around Starbucks, haha. And no I'm not paid to talk about them. Lol. Maybe you're one of them, does it work? Or is this more of a status symbol? Wherever you are? Curious to know, C
