It is Always Important to Have A Backup Plan – even at Starbucks.
Starbucks in Canton MA seems to have a seating problem.Today is the second time that I have run into problems in Starbucks in Canton MA.
Now, let me start off by saying that I love Starbucks.
Working out of a home office, I like to go there occasionally to have other people around.I also like to meet clients at Starbucks as it is a neutral location for both of us.Today, I went there because I had my monthly cleaning crew in my house and I wanted to get out of their way.I had a home inspection to attend a little later on so I wanted to go somewhere where I could get a little work done before the inspection.So, I headed off to my favorite Starbucks right here in Canton MA.
When I drove in the parking lot I wondered if they were giving away free coffee or something!Maybe they were hiring and having a job fair?The parking lot was full!But I found a space and went in.No seats anywhere!And, there were others waiting for a seat.The place was hopping.
Discouraged, I left and headed to the McDonalds in the same shopping area.McDonalds also has free WiFi but it is not the same as being at Starbucks.First of all, the atmosphere is different.Secondly, I did not really want to eat anything there.Thirdly, I did not want to get anything to drink at McDonald’s either as I am not a coffee drinker.(I go to Starbucks for their Chai – Grande Non-Fat Chai Latte to be exact.)I feel guilty using the WiFi and not buying anything (must be the Catholic guilt kicking in).Not to worry, there seems to be an issue with the WiFi in McDonald’s! Somehow,that made me feel less guilty for sitting there and not buying anything.I figured at least I had a place to sit & could use my phone for internet so I decided to stay and type up my blog post for the day.If nothing else, the situation had inspired something to blog about!
This is not the first time I have run into a seating problem in Starbucks.Yesterday I was in the area and was in there for my Chai fix and the place was once again packed.Apparently Wednesdays is “baby day” at Starbucks in Canton; a local group of new moms meets there every Wednesday with their babies.Who knew?Luckily, I was not planning on staying anyway and those babies were very cute to look at while I was waiting for my drink.I made a mental note not to plan to hang out there on Wednesday afternoons!One other time I was meeting a client at Starbucks and again, no seats, so we headed to Dunkin Donuts, which definitely does NOT have a Grande Non-Fat Chai Latte.
It is always important to have a backup plan – even when planning on hanging out at Starbucks!
Contact your Canton MA Buyer Agent if you are thinking about buying a home in Canton MA. We could meet at Starbucks - just not on a Wednesday afternoon - and, don't worry, I will have a backup plan!
