"Say What You Mean"

7/21/10
So this morning about 7:20 Tim and I headed out to do our errands. Everything we were going to was within walking distance. We went to the MetFone building to order our internet. They said they'd be here tomorrow, and if you ask what time, they can't tell you, so you just wait around all day. We then sauntered over to the T&C, a little restaurant that has free wifi. You get one hour and you usually order food or drink to be polite. We paid $5.00 for the whole meal, his meal was only $1, but the drinks were $2 each :)
Later, after doing some other errands, we head out to the Terrace, a restaurant/coffee house. Their sign looks like Starbucks, except for the goddess pictured in it. :) When entering, we asked it they had internet. The host said yes and took us to an ice cold part of the restaurant (but we weren't complaing, believe me!) After sitting down and ordering 2 Pepsis, we asked if there was a password to get online. The waiter promptly told us their internet was not working right now. Jeez! Talk about misleading...in the States you could sue for that! Much different thinking system here. They obviously wanted to get our money first. Next time we go there we will say what we mean and first ask if their internet is working. :)
