austinallegro··on 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...

austinallegro··on 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.

austinallegro··on Forget Netflix, Volkswagen locks horsepower behind paid subscription
Give it time and it will be the norm across all EV's and not just BHP.

Want your AC to go down to X degrees? That's extra.

Heated seats? That's extra per month.

Electronic driver aids? That's extra per month.

Infotainment access to Apple/Android? That's extra per month and an unlock fee.

Then suddenly, once all of that has been exhausted and the customer is bled dry, you'll see geolocking introduced for additional/existing features.

Just buy an old ICE vehicle and drive it in to the ground. Then buy another.

What a dumpster fire of a PR stunt to save their skins off of the back of two people having an affair.
