Don't forget the surprisingly uncomfortable seating. I could really
let all this slide, however, if they would ditch or modify the new
live music thing. Most people go to coffee houses to chat, work,
study, or relax. These things become impossible when you have a live
amplified band carrying on in the middle of the room. It would
probably be perfectly fine if they stuck them in the corner and
prohibited amplification.
