They went from kids/family vibe to “operating theatre please leave quickly” vibe. In Australia we had one with a train carriage for kid’s birthdays, one with a plane, all sorts of fun. I understand the change and the coffee is better for it but still change isn’t always a good thing

My shitty local one has big signs all over that say 30 minutes maximum stay.  

As in: Fuck off, but leave your money behind.

I think a lot of that is because of the homeless people who would come in, buy a coffee and sit for hours to get out of the weather, then use the bathroom to take a shower.

Agreed. I see those signs in locations with large homeless populations as well. I doubt they enforce it as long as you appear clean and respectful.
