Starbucks store in Studio City, (los angeles) removes customer seating over safety concerns

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.

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.
