Why do most Starbucks customers use MacBooks?

Those pros are concentrated in certain fields, like design, music, entertainment, education, and the arts and sciences...........that's about it.

Can't believe you typed that, but glad we agree that smart people use Macs. :laughing

Sho nuff. It ain't a religion or a clique, it's about getting the most done with the minimal maintenance. Who has time for all those non-stop Windows problems? Masochists, that's who.

What are these endless windows problems you speak of? I'm running Windows 10 on a seven year old i7 machine with zero issues at all. :laughing

They want to spend more money for a weird interface that does the same shit the cheaper thing does.

Venti? What? How about large and caffeinated you pretentious fuckwit.

That's pretty much my train of thought as well.

LOL, most of the people in those fields only buy Macs because everyone else in that industry does. Take the advertising industry for example......all Macs. (But isn't it interesting that the vast majority of their clients, from Fortune 500 consumer product & service companies, are using PC's) :laughing

So what is it with the sitting at Starbucks for hours with your laptop?
Are people getting work done? Must be annoying for that business to have someone buy a $5 drink and tie up a table for hours. Try that in a restaurant.
The smallest laptop I have is Panasonic toughbook, it doesn't look cool enough for public outings. Id probably have Mac users snickering and giggling.

I like how the barista announces when an order is ready. They rattle off every special request that went into the order. And sometimes it's like 12-15 words describing one beverage. Why not just say Scott your latte is ready? Instead of announcing to the entire world that Scott is a douche hipster who has to have his drink customized 7 different ways?

I used to work at Starbucks. That is exactly why.

Be honest, are you Scott?

There's a *$s by our house and I'll camp out there occasionally to dodge traffic before going to work. And yes, I get work done.

Different business model than a restaurant, and I assume they're offering WiFi because it boosts their revenue.
 
Reli said:
Dude you can do that with most Android and Windows devices as well. We just had a discussion about that a couple months ago.

True, now you can. However, why would get rid of perfectly good products that I like now?

Also, I'm not a dude, dude.

Pornhub. But not at McDonald's anymore.

You can still get a Happy Meal for kids at McDonald's, but it'll be trickier to have an adult "happy time" — the restaurant chain is now blocking pornographic content on its public Wi-Fi services. "McDonald's is committed to providing a safe environment for our customers," a spokesperson said, confirming that the chain was now using Wi-Fi filtering in "the majority" of its 14,000 locations across the United States.

About a month or two ago a bitch in line in front asks for something something and extra hot. When she get it she bitches that its too hot :wtf
They make it again and she bitches about something else, don't remember what. I'm being entertained but its taking a while and people in line are getting annoyed. She gives the line an "I couldn't car less look" but black dude in line looks at her and using his outdoor voice says "FUCKING BITCH", she walks out. I got the sense a couple of chicks (and dudes) in that line wanted to blow him after that.
But bitch was hot and my eye candy gone so I was a little pissed.

I think she was deliberately f-ing with the employees.

A lot of them sit there for hours sucking up the bandwidth doing personal shit like streaming, d/l movies, online gaming, etc. So either they don't have unlimited data themselves, or their apartment doesn't have A/C :twofinger

Peets is smarter, they only provide a bare bones, slow-ass connection to avoid leaches like that :laughing

I remember when Starbucks was a local to the PNW thing. They pulled every shot individually back then, it was much better than the automated machines they have now.
