Did the customer actually appreciate you owning it, or did they get more annoyed that there were mistakes in the first place?

Three months teaching it at the library and @mason.margaret still sneaks snacks during my turn.

Honestly this is just the hidden cost of trying to mix work with play when you're remote. The cafe wifi seems fine until you actually need reliability for something important. Same thing happened to me at a laundromat near my place that had free wifi - it worked great for scrolling but the second I needed to send a large file it crapped out. People don't realize the cheap option often has a hidden time tax that ends up costing more in the long run.
