'Dude, you just loiter': Older couple waltz around bookstore like they own the place never spending a dime, owner pulls a fast one on them by removing all chairs

Sometimes big problems require simple solutions. This seemed to be the case in the entitled couple vs small bookstore story we came across on Reddit. The bookstore employee recalls an older couple who oozed entitlement so much in the establishment that it ruined the comfort of big comfy chairs for everyone. This couple would come in, never by anything, but would sit in the only two big comfy chairs all day long, cut the line to demand free hot water, and even kick their feet up on the table SHOELESS. That's right, these freeloading hippies seemed to think it was ok to have their shoes off in a shared public space. Apparently, they even would listen to things on their phone at top volume and disturb everyone around them.

Apparently, the bookstore owners didn't feel like this warranted a ban, since they weren't hurting anybody, so they didn't initially know how to approach it. Though most of Reddit seems to agree they most definitely should have banned this couple, the owner took another route: They removed all of the chairs except for a few tiny benches. This enraged the entitled couple, and you better believe they threw a Karen-level tantrum, but in the end, it fixed the problem and they never returned. What would you do faced with a situation like this?
