This is brilliant. Can you make a sub-game, Streets of Rage II beat em up that you can play when the benches clear in a real game? Perhaps have Mortal Kombat finishing moves when the managers are fighting the umpires?

austinallegroon The longest Greek word

Well observed, sir. I’m felicitous, since, during the course of the penultimate solar sojourn, I terminated my uninterrupted categorisation of the vocabulary of our post-Norman tongue.

I hope you will not object if I also offer my most enthusiastic contrafribularities.

Thus, I’m anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulations.

May I offer you a pendigestatery interludicule? Anything I can do to facilitate your velocitous extramuralisation.

austinallegroon Starbucks: Location closures and elimination of roles

As opposed to sitting on an overpriced laptop all day taking up space other people might want to use as well as costing a business time and money in lost custom so you can spend the day treating the coffee shop like rented office space?

What about patrons with disabilities? Patrons that might want to use the coffee shop to meet someone and talk to them and socialise?

If you want to use a coffee shop as a work hub either a) go to the office, b) work from home or c) go rent office space or visit a work hub.

Some people...

austinallegroon Starbucks: Location closures and elimination of roles

Thank God for coffee shops that impose time limits, lest patrons visiting for a coffee and a sit-down have to walk on by because the hipsters in their bollock-strangling denim, plaid shirts and a Crossley turntable tucked under their arm are already hogging the place.

Top Tip: Easily avoid said sofa-hogging hipsters. Look for the bike rack full of Penny Farthings outside.

Go to a Workday for your 'co-working vibes'. Take your Macbook Air and Crossley portable turntables with you as well.

Sincerely,

All the other coffee shop patrons.
