Coffee shop gets own back on tight students

200x190.jpg
Bosses at an Amsterdam coffee shop got fed up with free-loading students sitting for hours in their store but not spending any money.

The problem was that the cheapskates were using the free wifi internet connection offered at CoffeeCompany but not buying coffee.

But bosses recently decided to get their own back, not only by changing the name of their wifi network on a daily basis, but giving it funny titles.

Now when someone who has their laptop at the shop asks for the network name the staff have the pleasure of shouting back things like "OrderAnotherCoffeeAlready" or "BuyAnotherCupYouCheapskate."
Other phrases their baristas enjoy replying with are "BuyCoffeeForCuteGirl" and "HaveYouTriedTheCarrotCake?"

It is not known if the stunt has helped improve the number of sales at the stores, but the staff feel better for venting.
