This is a design problem and Starbucks has it right; uncomfortable and small seats and tables. So you can sit, but anything past 20mins and you want to get up and move.
The other side of this, however, is that if I need to work somewhere and I don't have an office, where can I go? 2 people cannot comfortably work in my dinky condo (I can barely live in it...) and I don't want to pay $100+ for a co-working space. Compared to a $2.50 coffee, that's insane!
- copperx 10y ago$2.50 a day for 30 days is $75. $100 a month doesn't seem insane to me.
- jbob2000 10y agoNo, you misunderstood. Co-working spaces are anywhere from $25-$100/day. Monthly is over $500. (At least in Toronto, I'm sure SF is worse...)
- TrevorJ 10y ago100 bucks a month for co-working space seems very very reasonable in most urban areas.
- tenpies 10y agoIt will depend on your city, but public libraries are usually fantastic. The wifi is free, the seating is spacious, and everyone is there with a purpose. They also cost nothing and you never get the "am I loitering?" feeling that you get in coffee shops. University libraries can also be good, but be mindful of the date. If it's exam season I tend to avoid them simply because students should have priority to the libraries they are paying for.
