Your take on businesses that provide free coffee in the lobby/waiting room

IYAM it encourages loafing by the customers. Conduct your transaction crisply, and go find a starbucks.

I consider it a nice gesture by businesses who know that people will have to wait. It's a perk like offering free wifi. It helps customers to feel more valued when they have to wait for service.

My first BMW dealership in Tacoma, Washington had a whole setup. Coffee, water, soda, snacks, etc. The one I go to Alexandria, Va is much more stingy, though it's a more affluent area. Damned recession ruined everything.

It's little things like that, that customers appreceate. I hope you're not a business consultant.

It's blatant socialism and it needs to be outlawed.

I enjoy doing bu'ness with people that serve me food and drink.

The dealership I would take my truck in for service would have coffee and Shipley's donuts all the time. I appreciated it.

It promotes a friendly and accommodating atmosphere. Providing basic refreshments is simply a friendly, decent, and human thing to do. Treating your customers impersonally and without dignity is not equivalent to professionalism.

You're on a downward spiral, Jim.

free coffee
I heart me some coffee. Winter time, summer time, morning, noon, or night. Anytime is the time for a cup of coffee.

They give out free cookies at Capital One. I bet that really rustles your jimmies.

My barber refuses to have a coffee pot in the shop. He said he tried it when he first opened and the old men would get there at 5:30 in the morning and not leave until noon. Everybody thought he was busy so they wouldn't stop to get their hair cut

I remember as a kid, the Toyota dealership my parents went to would buy us domino's pizza. Looking back, pretty smart on them cause they guaranteed we were going to be there for an additional 30-45 minutes.
