I actually got up, went over to her table and said "Seriously? Don't be such a leech - buy something!" She told me to f*ck off. Since she wasn't so quiet about it (and other people around had heard me tell her to buy something too), others basically told her the same. She ended up leaving, rather than simply spending a buck on a cup of coffee.
If you spend any amount of time in coffee shops, you'll see people taking advantage of the shop's services.

A lot of cafes in London have signs up saying the seating is only for patrons who have boght items from the place that owns the seats (can't remember the wording, but that is the jist of it).
