Only when you get something extra.
And the something extra for me is:
* Getting to read atleast 10 pages from a book you like at Starbucks in a Barnes & Nobles.
* Having a good conversation with somebody. From WanderStruck's post, those people at Coffee Day do not know what they are selling.
Starbucks/Baristas/Any other coffee shop dont just sell coffee. We dont go to those shops to just drink good quality expensive coffee. People go there for a little something extra. The appeal and ambience. Some of us go there to make a lifestyle statement. Starbucks knows this well and they endorse it. The smart people at Coffee Day knows this as well but have failed to pass it on to their staff! ??
Those who do not know this should get their staff trained at Indian Coffee House who had/have a reputation for letting the Indian Intelligentsia stay and discuss for hours over a few cups of coffee shared among them. People went there to hang out so that they could fit the intellectual chappal.
