“If I spent $4.50 on a latte that cost $0.40 to make, I would have no shame in reading FR for a couple hours on my laptop at a small table with one or two seats.”
Of course he has no overhead and is not allowed to make a profit and the loss leader items miraculously cost nothing to make up for your attitude,
Have you ever run a business?

Are you calling a $4.50 latte a loss leader at a coffee shop?!
Remember when Starbucks closed stores and their stock went south when gas prices hit $4.00/gallon?
I have enough business sense to know that I would prefer to sell some lattes at $4.50 each and have some people frequenting my place of business, even if they stay a few minutes longer than some arbitrary time limit, than to have no customers and sell no product.
