I have always seen a lot of people working, studying or surfing the internet in the coffee shop. It has become such a simple, common thing as rain in the summer or snow in the winter. Moreover, I have even spotted the tendency that more and more coffee shops started offering free internet access which increases the popularity of the coffee shops and more and more clients were using their laptops there.
However, nowadays everything has changed. There are appearing more and more places banned from using the laptop there. The reason for that is to avoid stealing the internet connection. There are many places where it is possible to connect to the internet due to the fact that the network is not defended properly. With the implementing of these banns there are less and less places where you can connect to wi-fi. The same situation is with the coffee shops. For some reason those who invented that innovation banned one of the most attractive opportunities which brought clients to their cafes. People are used to the fact that during their coffee break they can work with their laptops and do some tasks. What is the reason for the ban? I cannot understand, especially if to take into consideration the fact that there is nothing wrong with the laptop. The reason is very simple. Usually people who come with their laptops spend many hours doing their work. Due to that fact other clients who come have no space to drink a cup of coffee. That is why the owners of the coffee shops in order not to lose profits want their area to free of those who take space and brings no profit.
As I understand the shop owners are facing serious financial problems. However, I cannot get why they fight with the owners of the laptops. There are a lot of people who come with their own books, Pods or even magazines and spend a lot of time drinking coffee and doing their things. It is something that I cannot understand and that do not fit any logics.
However, you should not worry. It is not a wide spread ban. There are only a few New York cafes where it is forbidden to use any laptops. The others ban usage of laptops only on the break business hours when there is the greatest probability to earn a lot of money as many people are having their breaks and would like to visit the caf?. That is why it is important that the tables were not taken by those who just browse the internet.
I guess this is a tendency which is going to become common all over the city. As more and more cafe owners want to make more money.
