Generally not, if the shop isn't busy, you regularly order things, and you tip. Yes, if you get one small coffee and take up a large table for six hours on a busy day.

#34I've spent hours listening to this kind of ambience while working, but for me it's a little too bland. Video game music on the other hand is perfect for working. I've had this one on repeat for the past 10 days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lERcfsqJSk
Also, the Watch Dogs 2 soundtrack, literally all of it.

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
I wear earbuds inside a pair of Bose headphones. Complete silence, except for what I choose to play.
This seems redundant. I can't hear any ambient nose when listening to my bose headphones in with noise cancelling enabled. What prompted you to try this method?
I can hear past the noise cancellation, so I double it up. This probably isn't necessary for everyone, but does help with complete isolation.

#36I really like that the default first song is Solar Fields. (at least for me)
He makes some really great coding albums, notably the Mirror Edge Catalyst soundtrack cannot be missed.
It is over FIVE hours long. Also it is on Spotify so you can easily offline it. https://open.spotify.com/album/2wy9EzWP9NuyVt4TSCz3qs?si=UNx...

#37Does music helps you concentrate when you need to think hard on a problem? For example, trying to visualize the workings of an algorithm, or other complicated concept?
I personally like music in background maybe for monotonic or dull kind of work

#39What is with audio apps on web refusing to add volume sliders? I see it on instagram, tiktok, podcast sites, this site, etc. I genuinely don't understand why I would want to manage the volume of one app with my system volume. Do people actually want everything to be the same volume?

I think this topic is REALY personal for various people. Some people need silence, some people need music to be able to drown out distractions. I bet that even with people suffering from severe ADHD (like myself) the answer swings wildly. Solar Fields (default artist in the link) was the backing artist to a large corner of work Ive done over the last few years.
