Every train station should be an airport-like mall instead of the ugly things we have today. I would easily buy my Starbucks at the train station. Imagine waiting for your train in some awesome bakery in the morning... 😋

I will never waste on money on Starbucks.
I'm a coffee drinker, Starbucks is just sugary garbage. Waste of money.
But I totally agree.
And my local train station does have a coffee shop, sadly my local train station does not function as a train station because the state government shut it down to force us into buying cars instead
New York Penn Station of old

These days they are a dump or a brutalist hellscape. They restored the old post office for the “new” penn station but it’s like IKEA on the inside. It’s not terrible but nothing like this. Grand central STILL has a facade of history.
I can smell fresh coffee coming out the coffee brewer and a croissant aside .. nom nom 😋
Chez Paul . ..Paris
Just get a helicopter bro.
They all did back in the day 😭
You haven't seen the shitholes here in germany haha :D
Also Frankfurt main station and similiar are really not fun to buy stuff at... at least over here, prices are massively inflated.
Adelaide has a casino at their central train station.
You mean like Chinese train stations?

Most Bombay ites do most of their shopping at local train stations .. they don't look like airport malls though ..
Over here all central stations in bigger cities have quite some shops and stalls around. If there's any type of stall it will always sell coffee and other beverages and some snacks/sandwiches. The smaller stations are usually unmanned and without shops or stalls, but there's also usually a handful of people entering or exiting trains so it's hard to turn a profit there.
We have this here in the US in every major train station. You should see the one in NYC. It is even more impressive than the one in Chicago (which is the main train hub in the USA)
The Chinese High Speed Rail train stations have that feel.
What? My experience of airport food is very basic foord with an exceptionally high price tag
