At the corner Starbucks, there is a very distinct
environment. The music that plays throughout the store is a calm, smooth, and relaxing
mix of indie music. There are many students, as well as non-students, in the
store. At one table, you can see a group of girls who seem to be gossiping. They
continue to look around, whisper, and laugh, all while seeming to study as
well. In the far back corner there are two students, a boy and a girl, who are
most likely a couple. They walked in after me, and they guy paid for both of
them. As they work on their individual laptops, the exchange flirty faces and
giggles, which makes it very obvious of the attraction that they share for each
other. There is a little boy sitting with his mother. He is too young yet to
enjoy the pleasure of coffee, so he is eating frozen yogurt from right next
door, while his mother drinks a large hot beverage. He drops his spoon, and
questions his mother on what to do. She tells him to go ask the barista for
another one, but he is too shy to do so, so he blows off the spoon and eats on
as if nothing ever happened. At a larger table, there are 5 men, who seem to be
businessmen. They are all very well dressed, and are passing around papers,
while surfing on their laptops. It seems as if they are very busy, and in a
hurry to get some work done. Of all the people observed in Starbucks, the ones
who were dining in, all seemed to be very focused, and very content with their
surroundings. It is a very calm work environment that is very easy to focus in,
which draws the attention of many students to come in and do homework, like me.
