In Kharkiv, Coffee Shop Starts Charging Extra for Customers With Laptops. Open a Laptop, Pay 150 Hryvnias
The coffee shop is suffering losses due to customers with laptops.
This is reported by the Kharkiv city community «My Kharkiv» on its Facebook page.
As the community reported, the Kharkiv cafe «Kofein» has started charging customers who use laptops. Those who behave «suspiciously», for example, open a laptop and intend to stay at the table, are brought a sign by waiters offering them to pay 150 hryvnias per hour for using the cafe as a coworking space. From 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the rate rises to 300 hryvnias per hour.
The community notes that the average cost of staying in a regular coworking space in Kharkiv is 250 hryvnias per day.
The cafe's representatives told AIN.ua in a comment that this is an experimental work model.

It often happens that 1-2 people come in during peak hours, sit down at a table for 4, order a cup of coffee and sit with their computers for 3-4 hours, working online, studying languages, etc. We understand that these people are doing well and we are glad to help them with this. But if our table for four brings us only 30 hryvnias a day, it is a sure «path to nowhere». We need to look for some other ways of working with such customers.
Earlier we reported that a 19-year-old Kharkiv woman suffered a stroke while skating at a rink. Doctors could not make a timely diagnosis, believing the girl had overdosed on drugs, and local residents are collecting help online for her treatment. To learn how to recognize a stroke, read the link.
