>>7948305Its pretty fucked some days, that's true. It took a while for me to get comfortable with it, its definitely a habit. I stopped going and its not easy anymore. Unfortunately its one of the few places in society you can be in a social, communal - for a price i.e reason to be there.
I always take a book and journal, and always slow to order and finish. Sit down, write a bit, check my phone, then order, later read. I'll sit on that one coffee or tea for two hours fuck them I paid for the space.
