スターバックスの店舗面積について
Welcome to ケビン's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello.
So,
I've got many messages about Podcast Plus ending.
Okay, sure.
What are some of the questions we got?
Oh, it's not questions, but saying
we're sad.
I'm sad.
Or like, please, somehow,
try to continue that show.
Okay.
Thankfully.
Thank you.
It's up to Amazon.
We're gonna
still picking the questions.
Right, it doesn't mean we can't answer any questions.
So, don't worry about that.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, I'm gonna...
This is for usuals.
Haruka-san.
Hello.
It's Cold Stone.
Yeah, it's closed now.
Did you go?
It's over?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Really?
I don't know.
No.
No, I didn't.
Maybe.
Really?
Maybe in Mie.
I thought it was some random
brand.
Yeah, it's the same name,
but like a completely different brand.
But I think it's the same Cold Stone
brand that we know.
It's in Mitsui Outlet.
Oh, okay.
Nagashima.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Nagashima.
So, that's the actual
last shop.
Yeah, look. If you go to Cold Stone
and the store info
is in Mie.
Whoa!
Okay, I didn't know that.
The last Cold Stone.
Last fan standing.
I am legend, you know.
The last samurai.
The last samurai.
Wow!
In Mie.
Okay, what's going on in Mie?
Did you went to that
Cold Stone, Harajuku?
No, I didn't have the chance to go.
Maybe Mie, maybe.
Mie, right.
Because it made a huge line in Harajuku.
I saw the picture.
It was very long.
Even if I did go,
I probably would have given up.
You can learn that.
I don't have that much
spirit, though.
I didn't know that.
So, Mie.
But it's probably closing
soon, no?
Right?
Why would anybody open one store?
It's better to just wipe out the whole thing,
no?
Like business-wise.
Yeah, maybe this shop
keeps selling, maybe?
I don't know.
It feels like
スターバックスのテーブル問題
the one was in Harajuku, right?
That should be the crowded store.
The most crowded.
Maybe there's a reason why they're not
closing that store in Mie.
Maybe it's in shopping
outlet.
There are many people.
So they're doing a really good
Maybe.
It just feels
inefficient, though.
Just open one.
It's weird.
Yeah.
As of today,
you can still
enjoy that if you really want to.
Have one.
Okay. Mie ne.
Yeah.
Do you have any favorite place
to study or work
or do stuff?
It would be a cafe.
Yeah.
Starbucks
or
some other cafe.
Yeah.
I feel like because Starbucks,
the table of Starbucks
is getting smaller and smaller.
It's like
this small.
You have this small of a table right in front of you.
It's like barely fit nothing.
So if you're going to study,
you have one or two notebooks.
That's impossible to do.
Unless
there's this square big table
in the middle.
You'd probably do that.
You'd be sharing spaces with your neighbors.
So that's that.
Yeah.
So that's that.
If you're going to really study,
I wouldn't go to a Starbucks.
It's too...
The tables are too small.
Is that what they're doing
right now?
Limiting the customer space?
I don't know. I don't think
that was a recent movement.
To me, it feels like
I can never find a spacious
table.
Yeah.
If you go to like
Veroce or something,
Veroce is always open.
Big tables, never crowded.
So that's good.
Yeah.
Do you feel guilt
in studying in families?
If it's crowded,
yes.
That's why I don't go.
It feels too much of a place
to stand.
I just have a drink bar and that's it.
I feel guilty.
Even like
for example,
not like dinner, lunch time in between.
That makes it easier.
That makes it mentally easier.
But still though,
スターバックスのテーブル面積
I would want to leave before like 5 p.m.
where dinner starts to come in.
Yeah.
It's true.
When I was in junior high,
when I was in high school,
I was with my friend.
Went to
food court.
Oh yeah.
That's a common thing.
Yeah.
See students all the time in food court.
Right.
Whole day
in food court.
I'm sure we were
kind of like
students.
Chair.
They're taking up
all the chairs.
They just ordered one
you know, potato.
Yamamori potato.
And just forever being on the table.
Right.
You see that a lot of malls,
don't you think?
Yeah.
But I
don't see any malls
stopping them from doing so.
True.
If they really wanted to stop,
they can stop, right?
I have never
been said like that.
Or like picked out.
Yeah, right.
I know.
I guess it's okay though.
Yeah.
Some noisy
atmosphere makes
people
be like concentrated.
That's me.
So I love
those like
Gaia Gaia food court
made me like focusing.
Yeah, I get it.
Where do you study now
if you have to?
Where would you go?
Now?
Home.
Can you study at home?
No problem?
Yeah.
You don't slack off?
What do you mean slack off?
Like you're like tired
really quickly.
Oh, couch time.
You put like TV on
and you're like fuck it.
No.
You can focus.
Yeah.
I was the guy
I was the guy
going to the cafes and do things
kind of type of guy
few years ago.
No?
I cannot remember
when the last time I did that.
What happened?
What's the transition?
I have no idea.
You just don't feel like it anymore?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Are you still into coffees?
Yeah.
But I just go there to drink coffee.
Not to enjoy the atmosphere?
I think so.
Yeah.
I don't go to those cafes
meant to be
like they have consent
スターバックスのテーブル面積の変化
or like Wi-Fi.
Oh, yeah.
More like
you just have like three seats
you can match that in front of you
and you know
you can't really
stay there long.
I guess that's why.
You like those places better?
Yeah, like recently.
Maybe that's why.
But cafe?
If I really need to do something
I just go into the cafe.
Just like you said, like chain cafe.
Yeah.
Alright.
Thanks for listening guys.
Bye-bye.
