Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

well thats a sure way to make people feel not welcome. hmmm....not welcome unless you buy something...very unfriendly and very greedy attitude. dont be mistaken , people will recognize this even if just subconsciously and it WILL reflect in your customer flow and sales. why? other than the obvious just stated , we are also in hard economic times, basically a depression. there are many jobless people desperately seeking jobs right now, many of whom no longer have internet at home, hence why they seek out coffee shops. when you boot them out cuz they dont have money right now, they remember that. when they do get a job and do have money they still remember that. DUH

Hello! It's a BUSINESS, they are there to make MONEY. Internet is a service that they provide to their CUSTOMERS, not unemployed losers. Starbucks is not a charity, people without jobs are not coffee-shop's problems. People who can't afford internet can just as easily go to THE LIBRARY, and if someone is so poor that they can't afford the internet service, they should really sell their laptop and use the FREE COMPUTER at THE LIBRARY.
Stupid Americans expect everything for free and feel entitle to things that they shouldn't. No one has the right to get mad that they're not permitted to take advantage of a service that a business provides to it's PAYING CUSTOMERS.
You stupid idiot, who do you think you are?

nevermind you are an IDIOT, just because they are unemployed doesnt give them right to freeload on businesses that needs to make money. I agreee with Ryan they need customers too that can buy things so they can make profit and pay their electrib bills and employees salary so this freeloaders can use their free internet access. So what if these freeloaders will remember how they were treated by coffee shops for throwing them out, it only means they will gain customers that do pay. Go bak to school idiot.

Are you kidding me?! Business owners should be sensitive to customers/freeloaders right now because we are in an economic recession/depression right now?! Oh, that's right, these business owners(what in the world do you think they ACTUALLY OWN?!) should feel bad because even though they are probably in the midst of losing their coffee shops, restaurants, etc..., they should still feel lucky to have people that often just sit there for hours on end-without spending a dime, while as each hour continues to pass, their electric bill, WiFi bill, rent, etc, keeps getting charged to them every month, NO MATTER HOW BAD THE ECONOMY IS. People like you, should really consider all the variables in a situation before they make such stupid comments.
People who open businesses(spelling) rarely open them because they are indepently wealthy, and can afford to just go on and on every day without making a dime, while their customers get to enjoy themselves. They open a business to make money doing something they enjoy, rather than doing the 9 to 5 thing. And, MOST of the time, individual business owners are happy just to break even every month. So, any of you complainers out there, should really "Geta Grip" already. Joe B.
