Telecommuting and coffee

I wonder why virtually every article about telecommuting or virtual office mentions Starbucks or just some generic "coffee shop" or "cafe"?

This is ridiculous. I wonder if I ever can work remotely. You see, I hate coffee.

Even if I loved coffee, I probably could not work for more than thirty minutes in any coffee shop.

And I guess coffee shop owners do not like people hanging out for hours with laptop, occupying valuable tables. If I was a coffee shop owner I'd kick a client 30 minutes after last order. And do not tell me about "alienating customers", I'd rather loose one patron, but serve other three, who otherwise would not find a free table.

Well, maybe kicking them out is too harsh. I guess cutting their Wi-Fi access after 30 minutes will do just as good.

If you build it they will come
Origin: Most probably from 1989 year movie "Field of Dreams". Ray Kinsella played by Kevin Costner hears voices whispering "If you build it they will come". In a movie that was about a baseball stadium than Ray had to build. In online community this is most often used about web site popularity.
