Not a coffee drinker and rarely go - but just chiming in with what others have shared, I hope customers like you and others really make your voices heard to the establishment so that they begin to transition into controlling that - it would be such a shame to lose the socialization, the people meeting people in a coffee shop to now - another work place. We have so many of those - we need more places for people to spend time with themselves and a cup or with others!
