Coffee Break

Yesterday night, I went to Starbucks to yum cha with a friend. Initially we went to Coffee Bean but as the outlet was having water problems, we adjourned to the nearest Starbucks. See, didn't fancy having nowhere to pee when nature calls. Actually, between Coffee Bean and Starbucks, i prefer Coffee Bean's coffee. Still thinks Starbucks coffee is a tad sweet for my taste buds. However, I see most people seemed to prefer Starbucks. Maybe it's cos they have wi-fi?

Anyways, noticed that a lot of people goto Starbucks with their laptops in front of them, making full use of the wi-fi facility (and oso electricity!). Some were with friends, mostly solo with laptops. What i don't get is how those people who bring each of their laptops can share the same table? I mean what's the point? After all both of them just stared at their own laptops wat...Curious, I peeped into some of their laptops to see what they were doing.

Some were actually playing games (appalled!!), some were surfing the net (god knows what websites, probably not porn cos they are in public!), the one next to me was on chat i think cos every now and then i hear a 'ding ding' sound coming from behind my shoulders!! Hmmm....I think it's a very good marketing ploy...offering free wi-fi service. I mean everyone who goes there are most likely to drink at least 1 cup of coffee right? How much does the wi-fi costs? Probably 10 cups of coffee should cover it? See, nothing in this world is free! There's always a catch somewhere...Made me regret not bringing my laptop...uh-huhhh..
