A lot of people use coffee shops like Costa, Starbucks etc as office space, its cheaper to just sit and work at a table on the free wifi, free electric than stay at home !

Also, many of people use them for meetings too!

You could go in and just order a water if you wanted and stay sat down all morning.

The staff cant really move on you, that's the problem, unless you are homeless and then they seem to be able to do that quite easy.

As most people dont use privacy screens, its amazing what you can learn in these places, plus on trains
