It appears no one wants to sit at home and work in their pyjamas anymore — a boon for mental health, but a big problem for coffee shop owners. Apparently it’s tough running a café when a great many customers treat it like their home office, when they park themselves and their various devices — laptop, tablet, phone, drone, etc. — at tables next to electrical outlets and sit typing away for hours, rarely purchasing more than a latte and a muffin. Here in Toronto, blogTO reported this month that Neo Coffee Bar, a café in the King St. E. neighbourhood, introduced laptop-free hours at its restaurant. If customers are spending too much time at your café, it’s probably too comfortable.
