Well, I hope this is not a trend....

STUDIO CITY, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A Starbucks store in Studio City has removed its seating for customers due to safety concerns.

A sign on the door of the store, located on Ventura Boulevard and Vineland Avenue, says it's a temporary move. It's not clear what sparked the decision or how long seating would be unavailable.

2. They have been blocking electrical outlets in some areas

Where homeless are more prevalent. I use Starbucks as a mobile office when on the road and if I need to charge a laptop, I need to look for a suburban location. All of the downtown locations have had the outlets covered.
