Offering free WIFI costs a cafe very little, and can attract some good business. It’s a good deal for everyone, if users are conscientious about setting up shop in the coffee house.
If you really want to be a welcome worker in the cafe scene, here are some common sense tips to try:
– Take the smallest cafe table you can fit at. It’s not fair to grab a table for four.
– Don’t Bogart the chairs.
– Don’t steal the bandwidth. If you have large downloads to make, try to do that at home.
– Don’t hog the electrical outlet, either. Use your battery if you can.
– Mute the sound on your computer. This may sound obvious, but sometimes people forget.
– Keep buying things at the coffeeshop. A purchase each hour shows good faith.
