Forum Internet Cafe

Nasty guy working there, skinny Hispanic ahas a mustache, don’t know his f*#&ING name…
Wednesday April 13, 3:20pm, he let a family of Hispanics bring 3 small hairy disgusting dogs inside the store, while I and other clients working on computers,
The dogs made the whole store smell like dog shit,
Nasty guy, don’t go there, dirty computers and chairs,

$ 4 for Under 30 mins of Internet, not even one print out! Unreal!
How’s is this place even open?

total ghetto and ran horribly. I had a major exam I had to take that had to be done at a specific time and had to be done online where a monitor would log in to the site and watch. The day before I kept calling the café and they didn’t answer. So I walked up there to confirm that they would be opened at 10am so I could promptly sit down for the exam. I was told «yes». At 10:02am I was there, they weren’t opened. I waited until 10:39am in the hot sun and finally went back home to figure out another way. I called them again, they answered and said they were opened. I got there and their internet was down!!! After waiting for them to trouble shoot for an ½ hour I finally left.
Besides the obvious… The chairs were also dirty and disgusting.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. $ 2.25 for 15 seconds of online with one printed page. You have got to be kidding me! They won’t be taking my money again that’s for sure! Can we say thieves!!!

I go in here from time to time if I need to print something out quick and that’s about all this place is good for. I needed to fax some things and then receive them back and that’s where things take a most unfortunate turn. First off, the guy behind the counter (thin, gives off a greasy vibe) doesn’t have the best communication skills and often doesn’t respond with words or body language to let you know that he’s heard your request. I was left wondering if he’d actually faxed off my papers as he didn’t look up after I placed them on the counter and went about his business of furiously typing on his smart phone like his life depended the speed of his fingers.
I sent off and received back something like 4 faxes total and spent 3 minutes on the computer and when he told me my total price it was almost $ 20! I was about to pay it when I asked why it was so expensive. He began to point to the price board behind him and mumble things about the cost of the first fax and the cost of the following faxes etc. There was a dispute about how many faxes I sent and received and he got hot and exclaimed «I don’t remember!»
This guy basically made up a price and charged me it. He thought he could get away with charging $ 5 for sitting at a computer for 3 minutes and then throw out a number in hopes that I would just pay it and leave. On top of all that he get’s an attitude with me when I want to see a breakdown of the charges? Don’t think so man. Your job is to charge people a fee for doing a job for them. I don’t go into a grocery store and have the clerk just glance over my food and say «That looks like $ 20 worth of food, please pay.» Get out of here with that!
After some bad noise I counted out the number of pages in front of him and reminded him that I wasn’t on the computer long enough to warrant anything above the minimum price. He then refused to give me my last fax confirmation as he had mistakenly given it to the previous customer on accident. I should’ve received one of those dusty old candy bars that sit shamefully in the middle of that rats nest for my troubles but I just got the hell out of there.
This place won’t be around much longer.

I brought an Ipad2 to have my cracked screen repaired. I got it back and the black border is now white. It isnt glued all around. There is a tiny crack on the screen and the biggest problem is the wifi antenna is probably broken as told from another repair source. I can’ be more than 6 feet from a wifi source. I came back from hospital, brought it back and the rude guy insisted on a receipt. This guy and this place sucks!

With the exception of one or two workers here, the others are clueless as to what to do. This place is only good for doing quick computer jobs (printing, faxing, etc.). Sometimes the place smells. Not your typical hangout computer café.

Let me preface this by saying I’m not one of those people that likes to «hang out» in internet cafes. I only drop in occasionally because I have to print or fax something (and it has to be urgent, otherwise I would just print it out at work and avoid going to this dreaded place).
I dread coming here because there is one guy that works here that is terribly rude and gives awful customer service (there is another guy that is nice though but I haven’t seen him in a while. He probably doesn’t even work there anymore because all I ever see lately in the rude guy). Anyway, this guy tries to squeeze EVERY LAST PENNY out of you. It’s so annoying.
Exhibit A: I’ve come in before one or twice just needing to print like ONE document, and I have the file on a flash drive. I tell the guy that I would like to just have him print this one document for me from my flash drive. He refuses to just print it and tells me that I have to sit down at a computer and do it myself. I’m totally ok with that. It only takes like, what, 10 or 15 seconds? I go up to pay for my one print out and he charges me $ 1 for the time I spent on the computer (10 seconds!). I mean, I’m not trying to be a cheap-​ass, but that’s not really fair. I spent like no time on the computer. All I did was print out something from my usb! ugh!
B: I came in once because I needed to print something from my boyfriend’s email address. As soon as I sat down I realized I didn’t know his password to get on his email (I know that sounds stupid, but on our home computer it is just automatically saved). I was only sitting at the computer for maybe 30 or 40 seconds trying to guess it, but then I immediately got up to leave because I was in a rush. The guy once again charged me for my «time» on the computer. $ 1 for all of 30, ~maybe~ 40 seconds tops.
C: If you sit at the computer for literally one second longer than 10 minutes, expect to be charged another $ 1. (It’s $ 1 per 10 minutes) I was there today printing something out and I’m pretty sure I spent less than 10 minutes (if anything 11 minutes) and he charged me $ 2.
I would never go here if I didn’t need to for emergencies and if it wasn’t just around the corner from my apt.
PS It always smells weird in there, and the keyboards and mouses (mice?) are greasy and slimy.

I came here to fax some things. It costs $ 1 per piece of paper for outgoing, but this is in line with everything else in the area (I know because I asked 5 delis/​print shops with fax machines before coming here). Not happy about that price, but that’s what you get for having to use outdated technology in this day and age. Service is ok, although a little slow because there’s only 1 person manning the desk. Interior is a bit drab and I wouldn’t come here to hang out.

This place used to be GREAT… before the owners sold it. The new owners jacked up the prices, no longer stock decent paper, awful customer service and it smells of BO. Yuck.

Printer out of ink? Need to fax something quickly? Forum café is here to help.
It doesn’t have the nicest of settings but it gets the job done — and it’s pretty cheap. I needed to print out a couple of pages since my printer was giving me problems and it only cost me 50c.
I found it interesting that this place offers webcam chat. It probably isn’t something I would ever use but sometimes when I pass by here I see a lot of people busy on their webcams. I never realized there were so many people in my neighborhood involved in long distance relationships!
They need to add a good photocopy machine to their services. That would be useful.
