People will generally buy their tea these days (or maybe not, I don't really know), but the rest is classic. Laptop and notebook on the table, sit there for hours on that one cup of tea. A couple of weeks ago I ran into a friend and we wanted to go get a coffee, but we went from one coffee shop to another with no luck. Each table had one person at it nursing a cup of something and their laptop! They were clearly entrenched and not going anywhere.
Next thing you know the tables will have to have some sort of parking meter.
And it's really a shame for the paying customers to have no place to sit.
