1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: So this has been getting a little bit of chat,

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: hasn't it. A man got tossed out of a cafe

3
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: for staying too long. The man was, unfortunately for the cafe,

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: a reporter, so he wrote about it. He'd had a

5
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: breoshe and he'd had a coffee and then after an hour,

6
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: then aper cafe told him to leave. Now here's Mark's

7
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: story and he was on with Kerry this morning and

8
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: he said that he decided to write about his experience

9
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: in order to kick off a discussion about whether an

10
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: hour is long enough for a customer to outstay their welcome.

11
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: I think to put a time limit on it. That

12
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: boils it down a bit too far, because you know,

13
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: I didn't use any salt and pepper, I don't have

14
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: sugar in my coffee, and I don't use the restroom,

15
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: so I'll save the money for toilet paper.

16
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: So paid got in touch with the cafe. They didn't

17
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: respond to a request for comment risk return. Martin Bosley's

18
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: with me now, Hay boss, hey, how you doing very well?

19
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 3: Thank you?

20
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: What do you reckon? Would you have kicked him out

21
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: after an hour?

22
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: You know it's a tricky one, isn't it? Like what

23
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 3: was you after an hour? No way, not after an hour.

24
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: But I mean, I think you've got it. It is

25
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: real estate we're talking about, right, and it is a business.

26
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: It's not a public space. So different cafes are going

27
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: to have differences to help rules. I mean, I know

28
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 3: in Australia it's really common there on their menus to

29
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 3: say that they expect the table to be located within

30
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 3: an hour of you finishing whatever it is you're eating

31
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: or drinking, and make it quite clear on a lot

32
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 3: of their sort of house rules as it were. You know,

33
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: you know, you might be using the toilet, might be

34
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: plugging your laptop to use their power. So I think

35
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: it's kind of common sense. But ette you it's the

36
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: place is empty, and there's how anybody around. You're not

37
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 3: you know, you're not causing any problems, right, And I

38
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: think it'd be absolutely fine. Cafes want people, and the

39
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: people are attracted to busy places.

40
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: Well that's what I would having people sit and I.

41
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: Having people sitting in there. But I think if you're

42
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 3: if you're sitting there and left, or you haven't done anything,

43
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: you have bought anything for at least an hour, and

44
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: there's people coming in clearly wanting the tables, and I

45
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 3: think do the right thing to pack up your stuff

46
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: and go. But I think you should probably buy something

47
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: at least every hour, you know, after every hour and

48
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: a half, at least just to pay, just to pay

49
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: the rent on the table, which is basically what you're

50
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: essentially what you're doing.

51
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: On the flip side, why why do we feel entitled

52
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: to sit in a cafe? I mean, like I wouldn't

53
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: feel like I was entitled to come around to your

54
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: house and just linger for an hour. So why the

55
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: entire as went from mark you.

56
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: Know, and that's exactly right, Like it is like coming

57
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: to my house. It's like cafes resons their personal expressions

58
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: of self. Right, so we open the doors, we might

59
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: be wanted to come in and see what is we're doing.

60
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: But I think some much there's a perception that they

61
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: have public spaces and that we could do whatever you

62
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: want of them. You open the doors, I can come in,

63
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: I can do what I want. I can feed my children

64
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: at the table, I can bring my own food, bring

65
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: my own drinks. Sometimes, you know, like we just kind

66
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: of forget that actually it's a business, and it is

67
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: like someone's going to home and as you say, like

68
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: you come around my place back up and now and

69
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: as and I'd be like I'm here, that your idea,

70
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 3: anything else like your or your coat.

71
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: Now I know the things to watch out for the

72
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: coded language buzz. Thank you very much. Thanks mate. Look
