It doesn't work. It'll go to 0. None can cover the costs.
> But other shops will still exist
You might be surprised the number of people that sneak out during work or during "breaks" and/or before/after work. Have seen people with all sorts of things from the shop in the office that isn't food.

There will be plenty of places with sufficient population density to cover the costs of operating a coffeeshop (or whatever business). > You might be surprised the number of people that sneak out during work or during "breaks" and/or before/after work. Anyone who sneaks out of work-from-office to do some shopping can just as easily (more easily!) sneak out of work-from-home to do some shopping.

Those that "sneak out" might not even leave near a shop. It could be a 30mins drive. A lot of WFH-er have moved to lower cost of living areas. Your city centers (where a lot of offices are) will be a lot different.
