Starbucks, as a gathering place for the petite bourgeoisie, has always been ridiculed as "no entry for non Apple computers". Whether in China or overseas, people often order a cup of coffee and sit there "pretending to work" all day long. Although Starbucks is just a coffee shop and does not pursue a turnover rate, it will obviously have a certain impact on normal operations.

According to the Korean Herald, Starbucks posted a notice in all its stores in South Korea last Thursday, prohibiting customers from carrying desktop computers, printers, power strips, partitions, and other devices. The translation of the notice is as follows:

1. The table is shared by multiple people, please leave space for other customers so that they can also use it.

2. Personal desktop computers, printers, multi plug sockets, partitions, etc. are not allowed to be used in the store.

3. When leaving your seat for a long time, please make sure to take your belongings with you to ensure that your seat can be effectively used by others.

Recently, a picture of Starbucks' "unfolding base cars" has gone viral on Korean social media:

From the picture, it can be seen that someone has forcibly divided Starbucks' table into a separate area with a partition, and comes with a keyboard, mouse, and headphones. Although the device used is only a tablet, this posture is no different from using a desktop computer. It can be called a small workstation.

It is understood that the number of Starbucks stores owned by South Korea is second only to the United States and China, and it is difficult to say whether these rules will be introduced domestically.
