Napier’s Table Turf War: How to Avoid the Cafe Drama

November 19th, 2024

In a classic tale of café vs. customer, Hawke’s Bay Today recently reported on a Napier café turfing out a journalist for overstaying his welcome, yikes! It’s arguably every remote workers worst nightmare – getting the boot from your favourite local while you’re just trying to squeeze in a productive hour over your go-to coffee/pastry combo. But how long is too long to linger after that last muffin crumb is gobbled up? Well Mark Story found out the hard way that some hospitality establishments have differing views on the matter. Check out the full article here for a slice of the Napier drama!
 
Now whether you are for or against the “coffice”, it’s a good reminder that not all spaces are built for long work sessions. Luckily, here at The Workshop, you’ll have access to an environment purpose-built for getting things done, with plenty of space, dedicated workstations, and all the coffee you could need – and best of all, no dirty looks from the staff!  So, avoid having your own café-kerfuffle and give your new ‘local’ a go here at The Workshop!
