This is a brand new location from what used to be a Burger King. No there are no outlets at this location. It's very sad that they do this. It's a beautiful location. And no, i dont believe it's because of those who stay for long periods of time, its Los Angeles, and there are lots of transients who would sit and charge their devices and make other guests uncomfortable. I personally dont go to a Starbucks with no outlets.
All new Starbucks outlets will be covered; my understanding is existing stores may also begin to cover them too. I spoke with the Real Estate people who indicate due to abuse of outlet use (extended period of time) without purchase and/or people utilize to charge cell phones caused this operational change.
