umm.. we did that too
we have a bit of a pond and waterfall in the tropical house where we 
overwinter some waterplants for a hotel, we set up our patio furniture, 
bistro sets etc, all the latest gardening magazines, free coffee and water.
it was nice, until ...
"the coffee wasn't fresh enough"  we don't like powdered milk  "1% isn't 
cream, who're you trying to kid?" how come you don't have ____ magazine?, 
but the kicker was "hey, that's my seat!"

we always have places to sit and rest, be comfortable in doors and 
out..always making sure that there is something easily purchasable (that's a 
marketing term i just made up) right smack in front of them.. cause we 
really want folks to relax, enjoy being in their happy place and not being 
rushed.  there still is free coffee, with heifer dust not milk, but the 
named pews are gone.
