Lol I totally agree! I dont understand the whole coffee shop as a meeting place either unless two people really love coffee. I hate the stuff and never go to coffee shops.
This should not be a thread about trying to get me into a coffee shop, I am too stubborn for that. Instead, I want to discuss the ever growing rift between segments of people.
So it would be safe to say you are trying to start a brewha?
Because coffee shops have cappaccino! I could sit at a coffee shop all day long!!!! I love local coffee shops so much the vibe, the people it all suits me so very well and some allow dogs
I believe coffee houses were actually started hundreds of years ago in the Middle East, Turkey I believe, and were places where men gathered to smoke, sip coffee, and talk about politics, religion, and the topic of the day.
That's true. To this day you won't see women in those, not even in Greece! A traditional old-fashioned kafenio is a male territory.
That's the type of customers they get and the type of activities. Guys play with their worry beads, play backgammon and cards, and do a lot of people-watching and gossiping. Same goes even for a kafenio in Germany owned by Greeks.
I do not like coffee shops because for meetings just because there are so many people there doing the same thing. There is inevitably always that one loud, obnoxious group that overtakes what should be a quieter atmosphere. I can't imagine why anyone would go there for a date or meeting. I would rather go to a local 24 hour diner for a calmer atmosphere.
Yeah, down here that is done with some regularity. There's usually plenty of seating so you don't feel like you're tying up a table and a waiter/waitress if you hang out for awhile. However if neither of you drink coffee....
Sometimes it is loud and not conducive to converstation....just depends on the particular place. Some are quieter than others.
