Readers’ Corner: Too Strict with Customers?
One coffee shop is run by a middle-aged woman, and she seems to be very strict with customers. When someone starts studying or working on a laptop, she goes up to them and politely asks them not to do it. Reading a book seems to be fine, but the moment a customer starts using a pen or sticky notes, they are told to stop. The person who told me the story had this experience when she began studying for the TOEIC test. I went there once, but I think I just had a cup of coffee and left. If I had used the coffee shop as a portable office, I probably would have been told to stop. Whenever I drive by the place, there is hardly anyone there. Now I understand why.
