Current Events > when people go to coffee shops to work or study, do they continuously order

(+) Yeah! (+)

drinks and stuff? or do they just buy one or two and drink them slowly?

They will often ask for a refill, or just a cup of water. I've seen some come in, get situated, work for a few hrs., and then finally come up and order something.

A lot of my classmates would just buy one drink. I'd try to buy at least one thing an hour, whether it be a drink or a cookie or whatever.

Isn't that rude to sit down and not order anything?

Well first of all think of the general clientele that frequent coffee shops daily or for hours at a time

Unless it's busy, then it's not really an issue if it's a brand store. If it's some local no name place, yeah they might thtow you out. But Starbucks or whatever won't care really.

The majority will order something instead of just hogging up the bandwidth. There's this dude who kind of aggravates me because he'll spend most of the day on his laptop and only get a large water, which there is no charge.

If I'm there for quite a while, I'll toss some money in the tip jar periodically.

The latter.

I go to one to write. I'll stay a couple of hours, and I get a coffee or two. Never been a problem.
