Coffee Shop Nonverbals
Do you ever go to a coffee shop to study and then shortly realize you are unable to focus?
The nonverbals in an environment will influence what one does there, how long one stays, and how productive or social one is. For this project, we compared Starbucks, a chain establishment, to Vero, a locally owned coffee shop. The environmental features point to conclusions that Starbucks is built for efficiency and productivity, while Vero is a cozy, more intimate place to catch up with friends. Being able to recognize the nonverbals of a coffee shop environment is useful in deciding where one chooses to go depending on the purpose.
