\t\t\t\t\"Starbucks\"<\/a>If you are like most of Stapleton residents, you were greatly affected by the 29th Street Starbucks shutdown<\/a>. The Starbucks closed so that the store could re-engineer the area to be more efficient for its customers. \u201cIt has never been perfect,\u201d said regional Starbucks manager Jonathan Ironside. \u201cWe wanted to upgrade the seating, and make the line more efficient. So, we brought in some of our best people to make it better for our loyal Stapleton market.\u201d\n\nSome Stapleton residents aren\u2019t sure any goals were accomplished. \u201cI think most of us were used to lining up outside,\u201d said resident and regular Starbucks customer Sylvia Hanson. \u201cEven in the winter, it wasn\u2019t that big of a deal.\u201d Others have also not found the new configuration welcoming. \u201cYou have to squeeze by people to get around to the line,\u201d says Chelsea Rudee. \u201cI don\u2019t think that change was good in this case. Shouldn\u2019t residents have taken a survey on this or something?\u201d\nEven more residents complain about the new seating. \u201cI am pretty sure there is less seating in there than there was before,\u201d says Daniel Murphy. \u201cAnd this \u2018community seating,\u2019 what the hell is that? Are we Marines?\u201d Resident Shannon Erickson believes the new, uncomfortable configuration was intentional. \u201cThey want to serve as many customers as possible,\u201d said Erickson. \u201cAnd, creating uncomfortable and awkward seating areas will help clear the store out faster, allowing more customers to come in, quickly drink their coffee, and get out. It\u2019s a big win for Starbucks.\u201d\nIronside denied that the reconfiguration had anything to do with getting customers in and out. \u201cThe design just needs time,\u201d said Ironside. \u201cResidents will soon love the \u2018new\u2019 Starbucks, and will get used to the winding line and awkward seating areas.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
