Disgustingly Skin-Flint Business Practices
While waiting for my aircard to be set up, I used to park my taxi near a hotel so I could piggyback on an open wireless network while wait for taxi call. But this skin-flint hotel management took offense, even when I stopped off of their property. I would get rude messages relayed through my dispatcher. ‘Our open wireless is free for our customers only!’ Then stop the signals from getting off your property line – if you can.
My point here is ‘Big Whoop!’ So I used their precious signal for awhile without renting a room. I also will go to a toilet in a restaurant without stopping for lunch – even when there is a big placard that says ‘Washrooms are for customers only’, as if a one extra toilet flush of water costs them anything extra.
Yar! Take the Treasure or Walk the Plank!
Then today, I happened to park near this particular hotel, and I now do have my own internet access, but still I got the nasty message relayed through my dispatcher. So fine. I’ll move away and I start giving my negative advice for anyone seeking a room for the night. I’m a cab driver and I drive many people from the airport or bus who are looking for a room. Skin-flint business practices are disgustingly cheap and they cost the skin-flint more in the longer term. For example, I’ll never buy any food from a place that has a ‘toilet for customers only’. If they are too cheap to spend water on a few extra toilet flushes, are they scimping on kitchen cleaning supplies too? This was just a small rant about disgustingly skin flint business practices: I hope U enjoyed it.
