Or you know, you could just not go there if you don't like the place rather than be a prick to people who work there and customers who like going there.

I agree, following the logic means any customer from any shop can start doing anything regardless of policies and shops just need to adapt just because of my expectations ?

Hard to do when starbucks is a real estate holding company that sells coffee. They have sucked all the air out of the cafe space and driven out their competitors.

    Driven out their competitors where? In Seoul, Twosome Place and Hollys are ubiquitous, there's a few more chains whose names I don't remember off the top of my head and plenty of single-location cafes remain as well.

    I couldn't tell you where the nearest Starbucks is in Philly but I can name at least 9 other cafes within a short walk.

    How?

      They had a policy of saturating an area until all the competition closed then withdrawing shops until they were profitable. It was quite common to see two Starbucks across the road from each other.
