Bruh it’s a place of business. Not a hang out spot.
Either order something or get lost. Go to the park if you just want to hang out.
Yes obviously it is a place of business. The point is that everything becomes a place of business, and society already is severely lacking in social spaces where people can just exist and encounter each other without the expectation of making someone money. Do you not think that is a dystopian development?
No because I don’t think what a private company does with their private property is a concern to me. If they don’t want people in their establishment that have no business to conduct there that seems like a perfectly acceptable request.
Do you go to McDonald’s to just hang out without the intention of buying anything?
Do you go to your local car dealership and just hang out? It makes no sense man.
There are plenty of acceptable places to go if you just want to hang out. A private business isn’t one of them.
If this was an article about shutting down public parks then I’d have a different feeling about it. Instead it’s a private business.
