[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, so you should be able to sit and "work" there for hours but no one else should?

I personally think 20-30 min limit for everyone at a coffee shop is very reasonable. [/quote]

I'm buying stuff. If they want to enforce 20-30 minutes for paying customers, fine, but would result in lost business not only from people who work from these spots, but also (for example) friends wanting to meet up for coffee. Most of those meetups would be more like an hour, not 20 minutes. [/quote]

How much are you buying when you're working? I see time limits in some restaurants where we've spent over $100. They don't let us park at a table all day because they need turnover to make money. What's more, when I do meet a friend at Starbucks for coffee, [b]I've got glares from the laptop folk who want quiet so they can work.[/b][/quote]

I KNOW!!! The whole idea of working from Starbucks is so asinine I can't even! For one, my employer would never allow me to participate in a meeting from Starbucks. Their WiFi is public, there are people around listening that my employer didn't vet, there is background noise, the list goes on. That's before we even come anywhere the entitlement issue these folks have with parking themselves in a business for hours to conduct business. [/quote]

This comment totally makes sense because everyone in the world is exactly like you! [/quote]

DP. I am a reasonable person, and the world is full of reasonable people. Therefore, whatever I think, everyone else thinks. QED. [/quote]
