Ok..... no worries.. I must remember that if I ever find myself landed in the Hotel Lobby you manage.. I'll cover the Tarot Book and my journal in brown paper... and print a title on the front cover that says something like... This is a book about my favourite Dog Breeds...Seafra

I've never come across a situation like that... But I can see where for you, it could be quite a problem and truly not worth the trouble in pushing boundaries too far.. I was simply seeing how far one could take it though...Seafra;
My city is FAR from a bohemian city. There's no new age shops here at all. We have swamp yankees aka WASPs of colonial heritage. George Washington slept here (and here and here ... you get the picture).
As I said in another thread you can visit haunted mansions, tour a haunted cemetery, but you'd be hard pressed to find decent incense where I live.
Thirteen said:Funny thing, but thinking back on it I *have* done readings in a hotel lobby. I was not asked to stop by any of the staff, but then I kept the readings to a quiet back area (there were little individual tables and chairs), and I was part of a convention of people all fine with tarot cards and unlikely to complain.
I think it has a lot to do with the lobby layout itself. If there are little islands of tables and chairs where people can have "private" conversations, then it's often okay, as it would be okay for people at such islands to pray or do a quick, minimalist religious service. Where it runs into trouble in a hotel lobby is when the other people there can't escape it. When everyone is sitting next to one another or when the areas are open to all and people are very much mixed at those tables and chairs because there aren't a lot of them. So you have to share. Your reading is going to take up room on that shared table. What you say is going to be overhead by those on the chairs around it. It becomes discourteous.
Likewise, I think for a hotel lobby. How much will you be encroaching on others? As with the breastfeeding, it's courteous to be discreet about such things not only for the sake of the querent and the reading, but also to not make others feel that you're imposing on them. We all have to be more neutral if we're crowded together on the same couch as compared to having our own table and chairs.

when i say reading it can just be for myself, not always for someone else
