I'm almost tempted to invite you out to coffee for the sole purpose of getting to read said letter.
I can see where it
might be appropriate to leave if it is busy and people're looking for tables. On the flipside, however, if you're still buying drinks and/or food while you sit at a table, why should they care how long you sit in their shop? It's not as if they get more money from somebody who has just sat down as opposed to somebody who has been there for hours but is still buying. Think of it like Ken Jennings on Jeopardy. The producers gave out the same amount of money as they would have over the same amount of time, it just all went to one guy as opposed to a bunch of different people. The coffee shop's selling the same amount, just to a few people instead of a larger variety of people. Even then, there's more than the one table in the shop, so where's the sense in kicking them out unless they're being disruptive?
