It's been suggested by business people that those using a coffee shop as an office-away-from-the-office should order something every two hours or else drop $5 into the tip jar. In theory, I'm okay with this. They sell the table to you, they sell the table to someone else: it's all good so long as they're making money. I just have a problem with what some coffee shops here (Taiwan) are charging for a cup of coffee. In the instances where coffee shops are being ridiculous about their pricing, I have no problem staying longer (there really isn't the selection of good coffee shops here like there is in, say, downtown Vancouver--which I discovered on a recent trip).
I like the idea of some coffee shops not even offering Wi-Fi in order to promote conversation, table turnover, and keeping pricing down. I'm also okay with some coffee shops offering Wi-Fi and charging more for the service. Just so long as there is an ample selection of both--and providing the coffee is good. Like I said before, it's coffee shops that want to distinguish between p-books and e-books that show their ignorance.
