  1. There are quite a few places in downtown Vancouver (where I live) and it’s not uncommon for people to stay on their laptops – even at Starbucks. I also would sometimes go to the downtown branch of a University’s library which was nearby, or sometimes even hotel lobbies. As long as you look respectable and don’t bother anyone, no one should bother you.

  2. Which coffee shop chain/name do you work from? Where I live, coffee shops are usually full with no place to sit. Where there is a place to sit, the pace of people coming in an out is so fast, that if you stay at a table for more than 10 minutes, you get angry looks from customers and staffers alike for holding up the flow of people.
