How can people "talk to customers" when they're packed in so closely? The proximity of those desks looks like phone calls would be awful for nearby developers' productivity. Well, it would kill my concentration -- headphones just don't cut it. Even movement in my peripheral vision is distracting (thankfully our cats sleep most of the time!).

Heheh. They're busy talking to you, potential customer and incidental coworker!

Seriously: hate these places. Hate.
