Vent: Working from that busy Starbucks near Union Station was a mistake

Everyone raves about that spot for the free wifi and foot traffic but I tried it last Tuesday and got absolutely nothing done. Between the constant screeching from the milk steamer and people bumping my chair every 5 minutes, I finished maybe half a page of code in 3 hours. I learned that 'vibrant atmosphere' just means noisy and crowded when you're trying to focus. Has anyone else found a quiet cafe that actually has decent outlets in this area?

you're acting like this is some huge disaster lol. yeah starbucks is loud and crowded, that's literally their whole business model. they WANT you to buy a coffee and leave, not camp out for 3 hours coding. if you need a quiet workspace maybe try an actual library or a coworking spot instead of blaming the baristas for doing their jobs.

Bruh it's just a Starbucks, not that deep lol. Pick a different spot or bring noise cancelling headphones and move on.
