Why is it that Starbucks in Ireland and the United Kingdom have such a lack of plugs? As a frequent visitor to Starbucks on Dame Street, Dublin I find it quite frustrating that they openly promote Wife access and to bring your laptop along but don’t supply a decent amount of sockets to plug into.

If someone was to visit Starbucks in the United States they would find that there are sockets everywhere, but why not in Europe?! Surely with the steep prices charged for coffees they can afford to put in a few extra sockets for us?
