'Relaxing' in Starbucks
I don't usually go to Starbucks, as I prefer other coffee houses in Dublin, but this morning having parked the car, in the pouring rain, myself and DH went into Starbucks on Dame Street. The queue was short, but seating was limited and so we found ourselves around the back on two armchairs, facing two couches, one directly opposite to our seats. On each of the couches was one male individual. Age does not matter but both were old enough to know better. And I'm not sure if they were together. We paid no attention to either, but as we enjoyed our coffee, the person opposite proceeded to untie and then take off his trainers, leave them on the floor and then sprawl his two legs across the length of the couch. Disgusting I thought, until the other guy proceeded to untie his trainers, and not only did he take off his trainers, but after a minute or two his socks. Now he did not put his feet up on the couch.!!
When another seat became free we moved, and then looked around and noticed that the soft seating is very shabby and dirty, as also was the carpeted area. I won't be heading here for coffee again, as there really are much better coffee places around town. And this is the very first time I've seen anyone take shoes off and put them on a couch in a cafe. A waitress did pass a few times and took a look, but did not do anything. She took away the used cups from them, and the look she was given would turn milk sour.
So much for a relaxing coffee on a really wet morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
