I wasn't playing a game or scrolling through social media feeds. I was writing. That's what I do. I suppose I could use a pen and paper to do that, as this cafe might prefer, but it strikes me as silly and decidedly less productive not to use the modern tools of one's trade.
Look, I get it. You walk into any number of cafes around the world and it's increasingly people behind screens, typing away, not being social. Worse, for the businesses, those people are often camped out for hours, taking up space.
Every business can make rules as they please - 'no shirt, no shoes, laptops, no business' - but this just strikes me as crazy in the modern world.
As I put my laptop away and looked around, literally every single other person in the cafe was staring at their phone. Pop quiz, hot shot of espresso: is that better or worse?
