It happened to me yesterday. I was at a table with two friends studying for finals. Together we'd had about 8 big coffees and a giant pretzel thing, the cups and plate were all strewn on the table and the cashier coffee guy comes over and asks us to leave cause people were looking for tables! He said since we'd been there 2 hours that was long enough. I've studied in tons of coffee shops all the time for hours longer (we were only in this one about 4 hours) and they haven't cared. I was amazed. I said to the guy "yeah, it's not like we're paying customers or anything..." while gesturing at the empty cups. I was a little miffed. I can understand there are other people waiting to be seated, but there were people in there when we got there who were still sitting at tables with nothing ever been purchased. Grrr.

Anyone else ever been asked to leave for sitting to long? I thought this was the whole purpose of the coffee shop was to sit.
