I don’t think it’s any different in other American cities honestly. The era of bringing your laptop and sitting there for hours taking up tables off of a $8 bill is over it seems, and I think that’s a good thing.(Maman in Georgetown is a notable exception, I guess because of GU students.) The tables should be taken up for a shorter period of time so others can use them.

If you want to camp out for hours, there are many Starbucks around DC that will let you do that.

I wasn't trying to camp out for hours but it would've been nice to have been able to sit at a table to eat instead of walking around in the rain. Folks are acting like people are going to start camping out if a coffee shop has a few more tables/benches

Have you been to Compass Coffee on 7th Street or Spring Valley? That’s been exactly my experience at both locations. I think it’s totally reasonable to have tables available for people to enjoy their drink, but that requires people to enjoy their own beverage and move on.
