Advice: He unwittingly stayed in a cafe hours past closing time, and now a colleague’s objection to that error has overstayed its welcome, too.

A colleague often goes to a local coffee shop to do his work. He likes the atmosphere and needs the “buzz” of the people to be really effective.

Then he saw a sign saying the hours of operation have changed: They closed at 2 p.m. No one said anything to him. He just kept sitting there working. He just wants to pretend it didn’t happen — because although he knows most of the workers, this guy doesn’t work there often, and he doesn’t think he’ll see him again anytime soon. He also thinks the guy had an “obligation” to tell him they were closing. I said he had an “obligation” to see when they closed.You’re right about the apology; a tip would be nice. He’s wrong about pretending it didn’t happen; you’re wrong to keep arguing just because he disagrees.
