I was a frequent consumer who dines at Orchard Central Burger King. My friend introduced the place to me for the quiet and relaxing environment. I noticed that there is a few power sockets provided there and I had seen a few people using laptops and/or charging mobile phones.
On Thursday, 15th April, 2010, I was using my laptop at Orchard Central Burger King. It was until when a guy besides my table asked me whether the power plugs are working or not. I thought it should not be a problem because I saw someone using it there just a moment ago. However, when i checked my laptop battery life, I was Shocked. It was not charging at all. I then realised that the power supply has been cut off.
The problem now is not whether I can use the electricity here or not. What if I am doing a project and if I do not bring an external battery, my laptop will be shut down unknowingly and suddenly. IF burger king does not provide this service for the consumers, why put a few power sockets there? Even if there is a specific timings for the power supply to be on, the management should at least put up a notice or something.
I am utterly disappointed with burger king management. It will be hard for me to frequent BK in the future..
