I apologize for being critical in your vent post but why didn't you use your phone as a hotspot. I do this all the time for work, sometimes even when there is wifi because it's more reliable.

In any case cafes with wifi are kind of dying out. Being packed full of people who aren't going anywhere and only occasionally are buying more isn't actually good for a restaurant. I used to live near a great wifi coffee shop and I miss it a ton! It was open until 9pm! But it also was way expensive which I guess was paying for the space. The only other one I go to is also expensive and is part co-working so I guess rip good times

This doesn't read as confrontational or untoward or anything. I only have a personal phone and I don't feel comfortable connecrting that to my work laptop for anything whatsoever (and even then, I only have so much data in my plan).

That said, at least in my experience, I think having wifi is still the default where I'm at? Excluding big businesses which all have WiFi, I'd estimate that it's at least >50% of independent cafes I've been to had WiFi offerings. I hope wifi cafes don't die out :< I think my social neurons are atrophied almost out of existence and I need to at least be in the vicinity of other people a few times a month

Ahh that's not a bad reason. I would expect things to be well isolated from one another but you can't always be sure.

This is very off topic but I got my social neurons back by going to board game clubs.... tho you gotta be direct at saying "I don't want to ___" at those to really make it tho Lol. But it was good for me!

I'm curious, what fills in the ___? Normal "I don't want to drink", "I don't want to play that," or is there something Nefarious that goes on with board games?
