This is a sweeping generalization. Coffee, like food, is a vastly subjective experience.
>> Most people can probably grab coffee at work for free if they wanted to but they choose to go to coffee shops for the "cool factor", and to feel like they are taking a break from their normal routine.
Who are these 'most people' are why are we making assumptions about where the get their coffee from without a research or a survey citation?
I'm sorry, I don't intend to be mean spirited here, just that I've been increasingly seeing seeing comments here that appear well thought out and well written on the surface but are peppered with logical and factual fallacies.
Oh, lighten up, this is a discussion forum not a thesis paper. It should be obvious that comments like this are anecdotal opinions without the constant need for phrases like "in my experience/opinion".
