Mark Story is the Deputy Editor at Hawkes Bay Today – he recently wrote an opinion piece about working remotely at cafes, after being banned from Smiths in Napier for ‘table-hogging.” 

He interviewed hospitality owners from around the country, to shed some light on what’s reasonable.  

Story told Kerre Woodham “I think it’s common sense – if I did stay longer than an hour or two, I’d buy something else.” 

He said “People attract people – if people see that it’s being well-attended, it adds to the buzz.”
