Tremont Starbucks: Timing & Positioning Are Critical.

No longer having to go to an office very much has its advantages for me...

• I can (and often do) sleep in until 8:30am.
• I can hit the 11:30am or 4:30pm yoga classes I like.
• I can train at the gym in the afternoon, when fewer people are there and The Trainer and I have better access to equipment.
• I can grocery shop for food each day, picking up whatever I am in the mood for at that particular moment.
• I drink a lot less coffee.
• I have time to read online news more thoroughly. (Including all the gossip sites.)
• And, last but not least, I can sit in Starbucks each afternoon and enjoy sitting at a table while writing.

I used to try to come into Starbucks on Tremont Street during the weekends... But it was almost always a useless effort. There were never tables available. From the time they open till an hour or so before they close, this Starbucks never has tables available. Even during the weekdays, it can be difficult to get a table at this location. But I think I have established pockets of time where one can actually snag a table on weekdays...

• 9:15am
• 9:45am
• 2:30pm
• 4:45pm
• 7pm and on

The day here ebbs and flows with traffic where people are committed to sitting down. And some people (I'll admit, like myself) like to camp for a few hours at a table. But sometimes this requires knowing where the outlets are at this particular location, so that you can charge your computer...

Here's where I have found them:

• The small table to the right of the door, after you walk in... There's an outlet behind the condiment bar.
• The tables all the way to the back, near the windows and the second door. Their a re a few outlets back there, and you have to have a long cord to reach them... But they are there.

Any other tables, though, do not appear to be near them. So it is imperative that you be strategic when coming to Starbucks. Timing and positioning are critical to your enjoyment.
