Bringing a laptop into a cafe and working while drinking coffee is a daily choice for many brick-moving parties. Nowadays, more and more people tend to telecommute, and some of them use cafes as second offices. Since cafes usually provide free Internet and electricity support, you can sit in a coffee shop all day with only one cup of coffee and bring a computer to work in a coffee shop at a time when energy prices are rising. This move is particularly economical.

However, for coffee shop operators, these customers carrying laptops may not be very popular: these "digital vagrants" not only occupy the dining chairs in the store for a long time, but also order not much tea-- a cup of coffee. You can spend the whole afternoon in the shop, making it impossible for the store to make money from continuous cups, which will inevitably affect the coffee shop's business in the long run.

It is understood that recently, in some cafes in the UK, customers may need to consult the store owner's attitude before taking out a laptop, because some owners think that their own coffee shop is not a place for others to work.

Several cafes in the UK have banned customers from using laptops during lunchtime and weekends, the Daily Telegraph reported on the 8th. The move is interpreted as a store rule introduced by cafes to prevent "digital vagrants" from "seizing tables" for a long time.

Newbery's "Milk and Bean" and Carvesham's "Collective" cafes in the UK are reported to have announced the latest store rules: banning customers from using laptops at lunch on weekdays (between 11:30 and 01:30) and all days on weekends.

In the face of an interview with the reporter, the head of the "Collective" cafe said that he runs a small and micro business and needs to keep these desks and chairs in the store at a certain rate. Everyone is open for business, and no one wants to offend customers who enter the store with laptops, but it really can't let people occupy the desks and chairs all the time.

In the eyes of the owner of "Milk and Bean", customers who use laptops not only spend less, but also like to occupy dining chairs for a long time, which often leads to lower turnover and income in the store.

Customers' reactions to the ban on British cafes have been mixed, with many expressing their views on social media. Some netizens agree with the cafe's practice of restricting customers' use of laptops, saying that this will help maintain the social and leisure atmosphere of the cafe, while the other half think that the rule of the cafe is not humane enough, especially for tourists, or locals who are in urgent need of a place to work.

Similarly, coffee shop owners in Paris are taking action to "protect the coffee culture". Some cafes have signs saying "No laptops" and do not even provide wifi, hoping that customers can use less mobile phones and concentrate on enjoying coffee.

In addition to defending the "cafe culture", it sounds reasonable that cafe operators are reluctant to turn their stores into customers' offices because of operating costs.

In Paris, there are some cafe owners who do not resist laptops, but see it as a sign of "cafe culture" keeping pace with the times, while some cafe owners have adopted a compromise strategy. they have set up a "laptop-free area" in the store so that customers can choose the right area to sit down according to their preferences.

Both the ban in the UK and the tolerance in Paris reflect the efforts of cafes to find a balance. How to embrace the modern demand without losing the traditional charm is a common issue faced by the cafe operators.
