It's probably a dumb question but have you tried leaving them a note?

Or just keeping the chair around. OP already said it: Guest chair. Actually you should have two for that purpose, it's also not wrong to sit down to have your coffee.

Pick your battles. Fighting with cleaning staff about this kind of stuff is like fighting with your grandma about whether or not you're still hungry. Yes, yes you are: Shut up, eat, and fast tomorrow.

This was years ago. And I did try a note! It didn't work.

Janitor. Honestly it's weird they're moving anything at all, but notify the boss and they'll notify the contract holder who will whip them into shape.

Businesses spend a gross amount on janitors and it's a cut-throat business. If they don't want the contract that bad, someone else very much does. Nothing to lose but your sanity. ;P

Worth keeping in mind if it happens in the future and notes don't work.
