Free Lunch? (2)

I still feel like you're mooching off the restaurant.

If they don't want people to stay awhile in the restaurant, why do they offer free Wi-Fi?

Well, it's for paying customres.

That's what I'm saying.
I'm a paying customer - I bought a drink. I'm also a regular.
It's not like I'm trying to get a free lunch!

But you only bought one drink and you finished it a long time ago!

Are you saying you would be more comfortable sitting here if I had a pile of trash stacked around me on the table?

I just don't think the purchase of one drink entitles you to hours of free Wi-Fi, seating and air conditioning.

If you think about it, though, the restaurant is paying for Wi-Fi and air conditioning whether people are here or not.

Frankly, using this table is more environmentally friendly than sitting at home running my air conditioner just for myself.

That's all well and good, but you are still inconveniencing other people when the restaurant is packed.

As far as I am concerned, if my sitting here were a problem, the restaurant wouldn't offer services to bring me here.

Well, I'm going to eat and get out so someone else can have my seat.
