Every Starbucks I have been to lately that wasn’t in a Barnes and Nobles have all remodeled and gotten rid of all their tables. They are only coffee to go places. I don’t really like their coffee. If I go, it’s for a chill place to sit and kill some time and coffee is a nice bonus. I can make better coffee at home for about a twentieth of the price. I figured they knew what they were doing, but if their profits are down, maybe not.
Very, very good point. Starbucks had a corner on the market by becoming one of the third spaces that are so often missing from communities in the US. I wonder if some goof thought all the people sitting at the tables was killing their throughput.
I quit drinking Starbucks years ago. The coffee is consistently burnt at every location. Like I could go in with certainty the coffee will taste bad. The tea drinks are fine but why don’t I just buy the exact same tea and boil my own hot water?
If one cannot sit down for a while there is literally no point to entering.

It’s designed that way. The bitterness is supposedly a better pairing with milk and sugar.
