Pippo20 Neutral Newbie June 29, 2009 Share June 29, 2009 Just found out Kallang MacDonalds have removed all power points for notebook users. Anyone knows which other Mac outlets has power-points ? Yeah, good job McDonald, I personally saw somebody tripping over the power cable (yes, it happened at Kallang Mcdonald too) and the student who owns the laptop still has the audacity to scold the tripper (an uncle) cos the laptop fell to the ground. What happened next makes me laff, the uncle kicks the laptop far far away and the student lanlan walk to pick it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zniper 2nd Gear June 29, 2009 Share June 29, 2009 no lah, the student is at fault for not making the cable neatly on the floor... dan the student should not scold the uncle oso... uncle oso attitude by kicking away the lappy, if i were the student i will demand an apology too... but he scold the uncle is already wrong so no choice now liao...

Seems you're putting words in TS's mouth, when he's only asking if there are power sockets. It is normal to want to keep your laptop batteries topped off if there is a power supply handy. But to expect it as an entitlement may not be appropriate. So long as got free wireless, still got people will come, but only for a max of three hours. It discourages all-day squatters who spend the whole day in the fast food restaurant using the facilities (everything from aircon to bathrooms, not to mention net bandwidth and power). True they would likely spend money there but they are also depriving other users a place to sit down and eat. You think your one value meal or cup of cappucino very big eh? McDonald's obviously thinks not, when they decided to take away the power points but keep the wireless. Good move I say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic June 29, 2009 Share June 29, 2009 (edited) Not just Kallang Mac. It's every Mac I think. I think it's a good move though else those agents will sit there whole day for free internet and electricity with just a cup of coffee.

Sofarsogood Clutched June 29, 2009 Share June 29, 2009 I heard the Olio @ Dempsey got powerpoint and free parking too. But their coffee not cheap hor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrosszero Turbocharged June 29, 2009 Share June 29, 2009 Worse is that the cup of coffee is drunk until no more, coffee stains all dry up, they still shamelessly sit there like there wasn't a crowd milling around looking for seats. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
