Ever wonder why Starbucks has round tables in their cafes? Me neither, but I'm going to tell you why anyways. Yes they do have square tables, but their decision to put round tables in as well was more than just for aesthetics. Did you ever go out to eat by yourself and find that you feel super awkward sitting all alone at a table? If you haven't, then I commend you on your self confidence, but for most of us, we have experienced that awkwardness. It's that awkwardness that Starbucks doesn't want their solo patrons to experience while in their cafes, so they put in round tables. Turns out sitting at a round table by yourself doesn't give a sense of loneliness as compared to a square table, after all, there are no defined sides to a circle. A simple concept that makes sense. For all we know, it's probably one of the reasons why people don't hesitate to go to Starbucks by themselves just to relax. So the next time you need to eat out by yourself, try to seat yourself at a round table, it just might make your experience that much better.
