I did my urban observation on a Starbucks located at Fort Worth, Texas downtown. The neighborhood around looks calm but busy. I observed that people arrived there either walking or driving although it was a rainy and quite cold of a day. People had the choice to sit inside or outside the place, and only one couple chose to sit outside, and drink their hot coffee. This place is combination of business and leisure since the owner of the place is making business with the visitors, and it’s a leisure for those who come and visit the place.
The architecture set up of Starbucks is little different from the ones I have visited or seen before. This one is bigger, I assumed a maximum capacity of 30 people. It has soft wood floor, walls and tables. …show more content…
Base on my observation this place was being used for what it was made for. I saw two girls probably in college working on homework on the bar table, I thought they were together, but for my surprise I was wrong. One of them put her stuff away, and walk out without saying anything to the girl beside her. So, conclude that they didn’t know each other even though they were sitting by each other. Which is weird to me because there were three empty chairs, and normally a lot of people sit away from someone else when space is available but they didn’t. Some people came in bought a drink, sit down, and relax. I predict that people come and relax to this place because of the environment, and also the good beverages. On the contrary, others were there talking with their friends or family having a loud and fun afternoon which made me think they probably haven’t seen each other lately, and they needed to catch up. I saw an adult giving tutoring to a teenager which it was weird to see because I never saw that in the other Starbucks I been. I also saw a couple sitting and having a conversation with and old couple, and base on the body language of the young lady towards the old couple I predict they could probably her parents or grandparents. I enjoyed observing them because they looked like they were having a great family time. I also observed another group that looked like they
