I live in Queens, NY and the B&N in my neighborhood has basically zero seating. It's actually the only B&N store I've ever seen like that, and I emailed them to ask why. The response:

"As our stores and selections have expanded over the years, we have had to reduce the seating in some locations to make room for additional inventory. However, I have shared your feedback regarding our Forest Hills store with the appropriate department who will certainly keep your feedback in mind."
