For me, it could go either way I guess. I can see both of your sides of the story.
The general rule I use is this...
If the coffee shop is not busy, I stay as long as I like.. sometimes as much as 3 hours. If they are busy, I usually will not stay longer than 30-45 minutes.
There is a local coffee and bagel shop with a wireless internet connection that I visit quite frequently. I am there a lot, and the employees know me from being there, so they usually don't give me much hassle. I try to stay away during busy times so that I can come in, give them some business, and stay as long as I want. If I've been there more than 30 or 40 minutes and they get busy, I leave...
