I particularly liked this quote from one of the cafe owners in the article:

Roger Soudah, owner of Cafe Reverie on Cole Street, was persuaded in 2004 to add Wi-Fi by one of his steady customers, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark. But Soudah got fed up with the Wi-Fi squatters by the next year.

"I got fed up and pulled it out of the wall, and my employees cheered," he said. "My space is really small. We count on turnover for that reason."

He tells of one woman who designs places with feng shui principles. "She comes in with all these humongous blueprints and a laptop, taking up four tables, then has the nerve to say, 'Can you turn the music down?' " he said. "I feng shui'd her chintzy fuckin' ass right on out of here."

OK - technically, that's a slightly enhanced quote, but close enough for bedouin work, right?
