also, you would do well to have a copy of something like Balzac's La Comédie Humaine or a Dave Eggers novel on the table.

Have you spotted a hipster with a quill and ink fountain yet?

Actually a relative of mine has a cafe/coffee bar in another city, she offered wifi and was soon beset by the squatters who didn't buy enough product to justify the expense.

I throttled back her wifi speed and turned off the ac outlets next to the tables so they can't sit longer than their batteries last. I also recommended a server stop by the tables to offer to take an order at least once every half hour.

Profits are up, squatters down.
