It's funny, I work in a coworking space, and we technically have hot desks, but everyone always ends up sitting in the same place every day. It really throws me if someone takes my seat, usually it's someone new, who hasn't figured out the seating plan yet. It's almost like high school, where you don't have a designated lunch table, but you always sit at the same table. Or at least that's what the movies show, we didn't have a cafeteria.

Had the same experience working a consulting job one time. Awful, dirty rows of terrible monitors and keyboards, fluorescent lighting, chintzy chairs. Hotdesking sends to me the pretty degrading message that people are entirely fungible (probably also called "resources" at these places). I'm opposed to it. And yes, everyone just sat in the same spot everyday.

Humans are creatures of habit.

  It's also simply more efficient, it's one less thing to think about instead of searching for a table every time.

    I would say if you were to go for the most efficient method, you would have everyone take the farthest desk away from the door when they got in each morning.
