Starbucks Dweller Observation 2

I observed the Starbucks on Franklin Street just off the campus of UNC and the customers still seemed to be predominantly students from the university. However, there were more people who seemed to be from around town or professors maybe. This differed from the Rams head Starbucks significantly because I did not see anyone in it that was not potentially a student. Even though the customers were a greater mix of people, the same activities seemed to be predominant among the people. There were many people on laptops or reading books. This Starbucks definitely had a larger number of people reading the newspaper as compared to the Rams head Starbucks. Some of the people were wearing suits and ties. The people working within the Starbucks seem to enjoy doing work there, and I asked myself why this was. I came up with the idea that many of the people in the Starbucks seemed to be more hip and enjoyed to spend their time in an atmosphere that paralleled their hip or sophisticated persona.
