At one point you used to get demos on magazine covers and you could decide if you liked a game before purchasing it. This is the same with the reading books in an alley. The bookshops eventually caught on that if they provided seating and coffee, people would sit more and would consequently buy more books. Treating customers like decent folk gets you more custom. Treating them like potential thieves isn't always the best way to do it.
