Seat-hogging student's public complaint against Starbucks backfires, S'pore's Strawberry Generation told to shove it

Instead of turning out to be a PR fiasco for Starbucks, people online who have had it with the self-entitled mentality of Singapore's Strawberry Generation, turned on the complainant.

They not only supported the action of the coffee chain's employees but took the opportunity to air the grievances that regular customers face when students in Singapore hog seats at cafes all day to study, depriving other paying customers of space.
