Sitting at coffee gossiping, being scolded and slapped, forced to be silent to study, netizens arguing

If you mentioned coffee shops before, people only think of an ideal space to gather friends, date eight things... Today, it is not difficult to see images of many people taking advantage of coffee shops to study and work.

Going to a coffee shop to work or study is no longer a strange thing for many people. However, this movement has inadvertently turned spaces intended for relaxation and socializing into informal "open offices". This has led to a heated debate on social media forums: When did cafes — where people come to enjoy peace, to meet and chat — become personal places of work where laughter should be limited?

One side of this debate argues that coffee shops are the ideal space to start creative ideas, where they can focus on working/studying without being constrained by traditional workspaces. They feel it makes sense to ask for a little quiet to get their work done efficiently.

On the contrary, the opposition insists that the café must maintain its role as a social place where people can relax to meet and chat. They see demanding silence in a café as selfish and disrespectful to common spaces.

This debate not only reflects a cultural issue but also raises the question of the balance between personal space and community. In the age of digitalization, when the lines between work and leisure are increasingly blurred, should we re-establish codes of conduct in public spaces such as coffee shops? And more importantly, is it possible to have a common code of conduct for everyone to feel comfortable and respectful of each other?

Around May 2023, social media suddenly went viral with the message "is it unusual to sit and drink coffee and talk to friends at the restaurant?" attracting the attention of a large number of online communities. Specifically, the owner of the clip and his friend had a not very happy experience during an afternoon of coffee talking. Because the restaurant was crowded, there were only 2 seats left in the long table area (large table for many people to sit), so the two of you sat down to drink coffee and talk. However, next to the two of you is a customer sitting at work, so you also know what you mean, smile softly.

However, every time he talks, the next guest is said to show an attitude such as typing hard, scratching his head, accompanied by a frown. It only ended when the two girls moved their seats to another empty seat.

Most people think that there is no reason to silence others so that they can work outside of a coffee shop. Spending the same amount of money for drinks, even more, going to a coffee shop to sit for conversation and entertainment, it is normal for people to chat noisily. Many people also agree that it is "crazy" to enter a café without quiet rules and force others to be quiet for their studies or work.

In fact, there are many cafes open with different purposes, there are "chill chill" shops for customers to confide in; there is also a place for gathering and chatting; There are also cafes, books or shops aimed at the majority of office workers or students wishing to work at the shop.

Therefore, if you want to have a comfortable working space, not too noisy, you can find cafes dedicated to studying or working, while doing your own work without affecting others.
