It seems pretty reasonable to me. They don’t want their tables to be totally full of remote workers or students who don’t leave any room for customer churn.

Okay, you’ve convinced me. I think it was just poor timing on handing me the meal and then saying ‘relocate.’ I walk back my statement. My intention wasn’t to stay long, but they didn’t know I wasn’t a camper for the day. Thanks!

Yes, to second this, there's often a lot of times when people just buy a coffee and camp all day. The people who just want to come enjoy a coffee and/or pastry and can't find a spot because of it.

Yeah. That makes sense. I agree there are those that linger a little too long and hold up the seating availability. Georgetown has a lot of foot traffic and this bakery is new so I’m sure they’re guarding seating meticulously right now. I think I got a little twisted up on how/when the message was delivered. But I’ll definitely go back sans computer. My bad.

Just commenting to say what a nice perspective from you! Rare to see someone change their mind so reasonably

You'll probably enjoy it more too. People watching, especially during tourist season, can be entertaining in itself!
