Change at CommetCoins

 It is about 7:20 on a Sunday night and CommetCoin is full of people.There is a long line people seem to be in and out. Thehe music is abnormally upbeat.The same baristas from last time are at the bar.There are people of all ages this time compared to the others.

Most people have out laptops or books. The majority of laptops are again mostly Macs.Most patrons with laptops also have their ear buds in.

Most of the  patrons sitting inside have come alone.The warm temperatures outside have allowed for many people to be sitting outside. Many of the people sitting outside are in large groups.INside there is a large group of students at the large table in the middle of the room, none of them seem to know each other. They are all dressed differntly. They all work on different things infront of them. The one thing in common is their Mac books.The entire group of students focus intesly on their screens and rarely look away or drink some of their coffee. Thay all sit their quickly and quietly typing.

Even thought the lighting is has not changed, it still bright enough to do work and dim enough to not be harsh to the eyes.Most of the students sit at tables that are fairly close to outlets rather the comfortable chairs. For the most part the students aare there for atleast an hour.

I notice that there  is no preference to hot or cold drinks this time. The last two time CommetCoins seemed to sell more of one or the other.

An older patron sits at the table across from me with a very basic coffee order. He sits and reads the Sunday news paper page by page. He takes his time reading and occasionally sips his coffee.

The cupple I saw the last time are sitting at the same table. Once again niether one of them says a word to the other. Their table is scattered with multiple drinks, hot and cold of all sizes. Instead of sitting next to eachother this time they sit dirrectly infront of each other.

The later is gets more older patrons appear and stay. They tend to sit in the chairs rather than tables like the srudents.
