Noisy Starbucks

Here I am, clearing my email in a Starbucks outlet that is located within Sogo departmental store in downtown Surabaya. Nice soothing music from within the outlet but loud music played in Sogo. At the entrance of Starbucks is a piano. Members of the public are allowed to play it anytime. Suddenly, someone started to play it. She is surrounded by her friends and family, taking pictures and video of her performance. She started with nice slow music but it now turns into fast and loud noise. Moment of peace is now gone. As I am typing this, a local placed his paper bag on the empty chair next to me without even asking if it was ok. His companions are talking very loudly. Another group has a child making a lot of noise. Maybe this place has no respect for personal space. I’m leaving for lunch now, earlier than I would have preferred, for obvious reasons.
