I don’t really think there is a generalized, proper etiquette to it, but I totally get what you mean. I have also felt that pressure to get in, do my shit quickly, then get out, but I found I was just going to the wrong places or going at the wrong times.
I found a few Different places near me that I feel like I can stay for varying amounts of time.
One place is super quick: in and out, no frills, no staying, quick.
Another one I will stay for a quick bite, maybe a little chat, but I wouldn’t work there because it is way too busy and I know they want tables turned to keep people happy.
Another one I will sit and vibe at, maybe read for a while but it is super quiet, so I don’t want to work because I don’t want to be too loud.
The one I work at is a good level of congregating, reading, working, conversations, etc. I feel most comfortable there and I have never felt like I’ve overstayed my welcome. there was even once I stayed there for 6 hours.

As a coffee shop owner of almost 7 years, here’s the answer!!
If it’s crazy busy, like on a weekend and the lines out the door, definitely limit yourself.. 30mins feels like the sweet spot. Any other day of the week, please sit down and enjoy yourself forever! All day even! as long as you bought something and aren’t taking a seat away from someone who really needs it, we certainly don’t care. Especially if it’s art, we love that. People on computers doing zoom calls though, those suck haha.

largely depends on the restaurant bc when they stop serving food and when they kick folks out isn’t standardized across the entire industry, if it feels like you’re cutting it close i’d make a courtesy call and let the staff decide, because if they have a heads up and say they’ll still seat you it isn’t a dick move
otherwise for sure lol

If you find the right one, it’s the best job ever. Free food and drinks, amazing gossip and new tea every day, so much human contact. I love serving I love bartending. You get to wear cute little outfits and flirt for tips. Finding the RIGHT restaurant is the key. many are shitty to work in. You gotta find one you believe in, if that makes sense.

Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours?
I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy.
Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.

Maybe this isn’t so much a fix for staff, but I feel like the reposting of things has gotten a bit lame. I don’t want the “Everyone” feed to be the same post 20 times with nothing added, especially when the thing being re-rec’d isn’t even a real reccomendation in the first place. I like this app because it is different than Instagram and Twitter and tumblr and the like. I feel like people are trying to interact similarly to those other apps here. I feel like we are all drifting back into creating the same social media AGAIN.
My vote would be to remove the feature entirely, but I see how it can be used thoughtfully
