With the expansion of the possibility of remote work, many people search for locations apart from their home (and office) to get their tasks done. Neighbourhood coffee shops and cafes are among the most popular options for these workers. You may have seen numerous customers busy on their laptops as they sip on a beverage or eat a quick meal at these places. But is it mandatory to order something while you’re working from these establishments? While the obvious answer may seem yes, a recent viral X post has revealed that not everyone may agree.

In response to this criticism, the X user added additional comments to her original post (which has since gone viral). She wrote, “Folks why all this rage? Can’t a girl want to just work from an empty cafe without ordering? I get it that if people are waiting for a table, I should and will vacate the table. but if it is empty- WHAT’S THE PROBLEM!” She further defended herself saying, “And cafes know this and are okay with it. I might not order today, or tomorrow – but if I keep coming to the same cafe every day, I will eventually order. the cafe WILL recoup its costs. In fact, I might invite my friends also. the group will eventually order.” That’s not all. She later posted a selfie and revealed that she managed to find one such place. “Happy to tell y’all – had a productive day at Starbucks. didn’t order anything, lovely staff didn’t bother even once,” she captioned the photo.

Recently, remote work from cafes also became the subject of much debate in the UK. Two coffee shops in the country made headlines because they sought to curb laptop use during peak hours. Click here to read the complete story.
