I feel bad for these small coffee shop operators. People get a cup of coffee and often stay at a table with their laptops for hours, thus preventing other patrons from finding a seat. This is unprofitable for the operator. Can’t these people, these coffee shop parkers, write their doctoral theses elsewhere?
Here’s some advice to you coffee shop parkers: Instead of tying up a table at the coffee shop with limited seating, take your laptop to the much larger Chinese Buffet and get yourself a booth. Do this around 11:30AM so you can get some lunch. Then work on your thesis after lunch and, if you need to, take a nap. Wake up, work on the thesis some more, and then it’s time for dinner. You get a fresh plate!
The lighting is decent, the restrooms are adequate, the food is tasty and some of these places will even let you carry in a latte from the coffee shop. Meanwhile, seven people will have occupied the table you used to tie up at the coffee shop. Just don’t forget to take a couple of extension cords for your laptop. The buffet will not have plugs at every table and you may have to run a cord from the kitchen.
