Which is fine if you are alone. But if you are meeting someone and you both want to sit down and have a drink together, there is nowhere to sit.
I am all for free wifi and enjoying the news on my iPad when I am going there by myself, but to me that is different from people camping out all day on those tables. If you need office space, you should rent an office
I think coffee shop managers maybe need to get more aggressive about imposing time limits on the tables (all the mall food courts do this) or something. If the limit is an hour, enjoy the drink and free wifi for an hour, and then leave so someone else can sit there
