davis_square | coffeehouse consideration

So. I like to work or study in coffeehouses as much as the next person. I also like to walk over to True Grounds on weekend mornings for coffee and a bagel or breakfast burrito. And I like to sit at a table while eating my bagel or breakfast burrito. True Grounds isn't a very big place, and to all of you who bring your laptops and textbooks and sit there for long periods of time: have some consideration, please! It might be that 10:00 on Sunday morning isn't the best time to tie up a table for an hour. As for the woman who walked in the door, bypassed all the people standing in line, grabbed the table that had just opened up, opened up her laptop, and hadn't ordered anything 20 minutes later... am I the only one who considers this bad coffeehouse etiquette, even without the not ordering anything part?

I really like this idea.

Theoretically, folks could start doing that on their own without any buy-if from coffee shop owners. Just buy a big index card, fold in half, and write a message on it. Keep it in your laptop bag for use as needed. Bonus: add an LJ name and maybe run into friends along the way :D.
