Really? I don't see it all that often, except maybe in the CBD (Starbucks etc).

Depends on where and when. Near unis, or during the leadup to exams, plenty working or studying in cafes in the inner city. I see a fair number in Richmond, Collingwood etc.

I think it's becoming less common though simply because of the cost of living. You're paying at least $5 for entry and might not necessarily get a charging point even
