Not All Wi-Fi Is Free

Published by pattye under Living Edit This

Today was my weekly trip to town.  I planned to make it a fairly quick trip.  I needed to stop by the bank, Wal-Mart, grab a lunch and use their Wi-Fi service, and get my haircut. Everything was on track until I stopped by the fast food place.  I am new to using Wi-Fi service.  I checked out the website on the fast good restaurant before I left and it said they had the service but there was a charge.  I wondered if that meant there was an actual fee or if you had to purchase a meal.  I thought it might be purchasing a meal because I have seen that on a sign at another one of this restaurant’s locations.  It turns out they do charge a fee.  I found that out after I had purchased my meal.  Lesson learned on that one.  I decided that I might try stopping by the library on my way home and using their computer, but didn’t know if I could do my Entrecard dropping there.  I didn’t want to go to another restaurant since I already spent money on lunch.  It turns out I didn’t have time to stop at the library.

My haircut took much longer than expected.  The stylists seemed to be having a great time talking to each other.  It’s nice that they all get along so well, but it’s annoying that it takes so long to get a haircut because they all have to stop cutting hair because they are breaking out in burst of laughter.  I’m not sure what I learned from that experience.  There are only so many places to get my haircut and I have tried them all.  There was something odd.  The last three times I have gotten my haircut, the same elderly lady has been there getting her hair done.  She was even at a different location with me one time.  I’m thinking that she probably gets her hair done weekly.  I’m more of an every two month person myself.

I ended up arriving home an hour after I planned.  I missed Guiding Light.  Frown
