The Jingshi live broadcast reporter saw on the social platform that this netizen posted: "Starbucks is really good, but every time I consume, I can't afford to consume, and I lose a good place to be in a daze." A few days ago, I saw that it was okay not to consume, but in fact it was not possible, and it would rush people, such as constantly looking for you to order. The netizen said that he went to Starbucks this time to sit for a while and did not order, because the staff kept "persuading to order", and in the end, the netizen got up and left.
In the comment area, many netizens left messages to discuss. Some people think that since it is not said that it must be consumed, it should not be "politely persuaded to leave"; Some people also believe that we should "consume as much as possible", otherwise there may be no seats for those who want to consume. This netizen also responded in the comment area, "Actually, you should order, I hope Starbucks will keep open."

The reporter of Jingshi Live sent a private message to the netizen, but before going to press, he had not received a reply. The reporter saw that there were also some messages in the comment area about sitting at Starbucks and not consuming, and the clerk kept ordering orders. Some said, "Urgent documents need to be processed, after going to Starbucks, I didn't plan to order because I had a full meal, but I didn't expect the clerk to take the QR code and say that I could order five minutes later", "I talked to a store manager about this problem, and if I don't consume, I went over to take the menu to customers, it's a little thing, a lollipop is fine", "I can't drive people, I may come over frequently to ask you what to drink", and some netizens even said "I saw Starbucks clerks dissuading people who drink other brands of drinks".
