I'm with you, OP: for some reason, it's the little things I notice.
I'm in grocery stores a lot. It used to be, there was a nice little seating area there to sit, drink my coffee and work. But now, because homeless people dared to duck inside a public-facing area to briefly escape the elements, they removed many of the tables and chairs and they're now a big, empty space. Heaven forbid they add more seating, actually staff enough people to enforce a time-limit, etc; no, instead we all are worse off for it. But corporate profits have never been higher, so worth it, right!?
Take a trip to PA, all the grocery and convenience stores have added seating areas so that they can legally sell beer and wine lmao.
They piloted this in Nashville at Kroger and something changed for them to turn around and remove them.
