It’s because the WFH crowd will grab every table to camp out all day, turning the café into a coworking space.

Is there honestly a difference with the crowds pre-covid? I don't go out mid week but if we go out to a cafe/bakery on the weekend I'm generally shocked when there's any available seating anywhere.

Pre-COVID less people would post up for 4-8 hours a day to WFH

They’re going to ruin it for the occasionally 4-8 hour sitters one day.

Yes. It’s significant

Are people not worried about getting their laptops stolen while they piss out all that coffee?

I don’t usually bring my laptop with me to cafes, but when I do, I never leave it unattended on a table. If I have to go to the bathroom, my laptop, phone, and wallet are all coming with me. But I’ll leave a jacket, book, or bag on the table to save my spot.
