Interesting.

I had four fraternity brothers in college who are Korean. Two were born here, one came over when he was 5, and one when he was 9. My brother who came over when he was 5 was a roommate of mine for a year. Two of them grew up in LA, and two in OC. All eight of their parents were born and raised in South Korea. All spoke about their culture, but for some reason they never talked about the activities of retired people in the Korean community.

Local coffee shops have millennials who sit for hours with their laptops. People who live alone or work from home occasionally want to get out and see other humans.

Can you imagine if these McDonald's sitters were black instead?

You are hurting it for everyone if you make the place go out of business.

Yep.

(see my reference to 'The Third Place' in post #199)

It depends on what the company is trying to cultivate.

Starbucks' emphasis on being 'The Third Place', over the years, has likely been a boon to them.

Common Sense has left society. I realize that restaurant make their money and are able to stay in business due to table turns. Eat your meal, drink your drink in a relaxed, reasonable amount of time, then LEAVE. If you want to hang out somewhere go to a public park, or library where our tax dollars fund that behavior for everyone.
