5. Why Cafes, Not Libraries? 🏠➡️☕

💬 Discussion Questions:
1. Have you ever been a "café student" or "café worker" yourself? What's your usual reason for going to a coffee shop?
• What's the longest you've ever stayed at a coffee shop?

2. The article suggests this trend is related to social pressure. What are your thoughts on why more students and workers are choosing coffee shops to study or work?

3. If you owned a coffee shop, what rules would you set to deal with customers who stay for a very long time? Would you have a time limit or a minimum spend?
