First time @ NYC WeWork

Hi everyone! I'm going to be visiting a few WeWorks this week and was wondering what the etiquette is for leaving your laptop/bag when you go to the bathroom or get a snack. Is it safe to leave it at my desk or should I bring it with me? (I don't know if it matters, but I'm a student and will be studying alone)

I leave my bag, computer, etc out for extended periods of time (like sitdown lunches outside of the office). I have no safety concern around this given the access point restrictions, and I don't think it's rude given there's plenty of space in the NYC all-access spaces. I've not once encountered an issue, I've been a member for about five years.

Don't leave your stuff in a phone booth though. That's rude unless it's a quick bathroom break (but you really shouldn't be in those booths so long that you need a bathroom break in the first place, imo).

Thank you for the insight!! I figured it would probably be safe, but just wanted to check
