The 10 Smart Ways Starbucks Tricks You into Spending More

Starbucks uses different furniture to regulate its number of customers.

Fans of the brand have probably noticed that sometimes Starbucks wants you to leave faster, so they use uncomfortable furniture. The secret is the location of the cafe.

This means that after 30 minutes or less of drinking coffee, you’ll likely make room for a new customer. But warm restaurants on empty streets are very different.
