Or you know, they don't care as long you're a paid customer.

BTW, I didn't say anything about restaurants. Coffee shop in general have much more of a lax atmosphere, so they generally don't care too much.

Some do, some don't. In my experience, Starbucks couldn't care less as long as you buy a coffee (and even then couldn't care less. maybe a restaurant would care more but it's on bar logic: they don't mind lending seats until paying customers come in). Smaller shops tend to be more strict about doing that kind of thing.
