Recently, several netizens have posted that Starbucks stores in Xi'an and other places have started implementing "consumption seating". Non consumption will be politely advised by store staff to leave, and some Starbucks stores have directly placed "consumption seating" signs on their tables. When Starbucks official customer service responded to media inquiries, they confirmed that there was a "consumption seat" issue. If customers do not consume, they will be politely advised to leave by the store staff, but Starbucks will not force customers to consume. News such as being persuaded to leave after just one minute of sitting down and refusing to consume has become widespread, causing many Starbucks' casual customers to become anxious.
