How much business is conducted in coffee shops?

I’m sure the answer varies from city to city.

One of benefits (or curses, depending on how you look at it) of the job that I have is that I get to spend a lot of time working from random locations. Provided I have internet access, I can do 80% of my job from anywhere.

So a lot of my work gets done in coffee shops or bagel shops or bistros or cafes that provide free wi-fi. And almost wherever I am, I am not alone.

Right now I can hear two people discussing something in legalese that, if I paid enough attention to it, would make my head spin.

Why do businesses have offices?

So you can work elsewhere.

Oh, snap.
