I'm just going to take a guess, but i'd be willing to best people sitting down and coding are not the greatest source of customers.

I take the train to work in Boston. On my way from the station to my office I pass 5 starbucks. Everyone has a line out the door. Those customers that come in once (or more) a day, grab a coffee, and then go are the key to their success.

You're probably right, but we do buy coffee, snacks and even food (salads or sandwiches) since we're there for hours.

But yeah, you're absolutely right, might not be the main source of customers as more leave than stay with their coffee :)
