Update October 2011 :
The tyrant king was not around when I revisited again.I don't know how Oldtown does it,but they managed to find another patient chinese young managress to give us customers a bit of liberty to surf away to our hearts content.From the looks of the many gizmos being utilised atop almost every table,that's good news.
----------------------------------------------------
Headed by an outlet manager breed from the same test tube as The Little Nyonya Cuisine's head of staff,he delights in 'chasing' away Kutu's who like to latch on to Oldtown's wifi by instructing his foreign staff to "kasi tutup 3 tempat"(switch off the 3 points)
See,this fella,is obviously not from the island.
You can see how disgusted and revolted he is by the concept of the pariah Penangites who love to share one plate of CKT and 2 cups of white coffee amongst 6 adults and 2 kids.
Due to this in built frustration,he lashes out at the free wifi parasites cos he cannot fathom the gall those very pretty Starbucks chicklit fleas upstairs have,at daring to sit down in the outlet,take up all available tables and seating space just so they can use the wifi without even ordering a single item or drink.
The situation in Starbucks has so gotten out of hand,that even their outlet inside of Borders, Queensbay mall has plastered up some stern rules and regulations there.
The polite notice goes something like this ....
"you are only allowed to browse one book at a time,and our staff will be coming round every 20 minutes to collect books from you"
what they really mean to say is...
"u worthless kiamsap parasite fleabags and kutus,we are going to snatch the kiamchai books out from your hands whether you like it or not when your 20 minutes are up.Remember,we got our eyes trained on you"
Thus explains this 1st Avenue manager's rather brutal stance.
When your connection doesn't come back on after countless tries,you may start looking in his direction.Not that he cares,he just wants these unwanted customers to get the heck out,so others can move in.So highly strung this one,good candidate for a heart attack.
Thus the absence of surfers here.
As for the food,do stay on the safe side and stick to a meatless dish,so you won't have to crouch atop your toilet throne for the next 2 days.
