I agree with your sentiments here. The zeitgeist of quaint has shifted and there’s no going back. Get the effing WiFi.
I’d bet if you did an analysis of who tends to order food with their macchiato and possibly orders a second macchiato, it’s the folx who are catching up for a few hours on emails and all the things the interwebs offer.
Getting WiFi also doesn’t preclude the old timey quainters from sitting and having old timey conversation with a friend or people watching.
Don’t even get me started on the block of wood bathroom key. Like you said, DEFINITELY more of a biohazard than a toilet used by the housed and the unhoused alike.
I would venture to say that most people fake wash their hands (they certainly couldn’t get through Happy Birthday) maybe twice a day. It’s like how the remote control is by far the filthiest thing in a hotel room (in a close heat with the “comforter” 🤮).
I just watched the documentary Poisoned on Netflix about our food supply. You might stop eating altogether. For starters, DEFINITELY give up romaine lettuce. E. coli outbreaks up the wazoo.
This used to be a REALLY big deal, especially before I could use my phone as a wifi hotspot.
Buddy, this is the internet. Any minor inconvenience is literally neoliberal decline!
That's not necessarily wrong, but I'm thinking about how much better things are now. i'm like the anti-MAGA anti-boomer.

I just wanna know what's on people's hands that make these keys so gross. Make people use hand sanitizer before grabbing these keys at the very least.

1. Now I just thought of all the times a barista has to touch these keys to hand them to people before making coffees 🤮
2. Romaine lettuce sucks. Mixed greens or kale for salads, arugula (or shredded iceberg in specific contexts) for sandwiches/burgers.
