Anyone know what the renovations are that are closing Diesel this week?

A friend told me they are putting boths in the front section where tables and chairs are now.

Are you the Diesel nazi?

Nazis rounded up religious, ethnic and other minorities and gassed them to death.

I am merely saying that the *purpose* of a coffeshop is to provide drinks and snacks and a place to enjoy them so that ideally, seating priority should go to people actively doing those things and if there's room, people hanging out.

It's rather annoying to buy a coffee and muffin, look around and find no place to sit and scores of tables full of people not eating or drinking anything.

The "space hog" problem at Diesel (people hogging too much space or the same space for too long) is a reason I tend to avoid getting coffee and snacks at Diesel.

You have a valid point. That's not cool if people are space hogging tables and not eating or drinking anything. It's not the library or an office. That does drive me NUTS too as I am trying to find a table.

Sorry-I didn't mean to offend you. That was off color.

It's ok. I just really don't enjoy people who treat Diesel like their living room, office or study room. I'm not saying you must have hand-to-mouth action with food or drink at all times but I think a person should be buying something once per hour-ish. There are literally people who get there early in the morning and camp out alllll day. What's odd is that I've only noticed this really extended hanging out at Diesel. Other places in the Square I like to hang out (you know for a respectable hour or so, lol) people don't linger nearly as long.

I'm with you on this. I am going to make a point of sitting in on booth/office hoggers!
