To the people in the magazine section of Barnes & Noble yesterday, the chairs by the window are there so that you can sit and sample the magazines before you buy. They are not there for you to sit down, read the magazines cover-to-cover, and then leave without buying anything.
To the people in the same Barnes & Noble's cafe, if you are not going to purchase that book, please don't take it with you when you go to get a coffee and oversized cookie. Inevitably, you will get coffee or chocolate or some other food/liquid on the book. And then, since you will inevitably leave without buying that book, neither will anyone else want to buy it, because now it is stained.
If you want to read something with your coffee, first, find a book you will buy, then purchase it, then take it to the cafe. If you want a place to read magazines for free, while sitting in a nice, comfortable chair, try your local LIBRARY; the librarians will be happier to see you than I.
