Ok, went to another Meetup at another Cafe Brazil. Guess what? No WiFi again.
This time it was a WordPress Meetup, so the whole meeting was crippled due to the lack of the WiFi connection and the ability of people to open up their laptop, say “hey, take a look at this” and have someone help them figure a problem out.
They had no explanation, just no WiFi!
So, anyone in the Dallas area needing WiFi connections while out and about – avoid Cafe Brazil in Dallas like the plague.
I went to a Meetup.com meeting last for a group I am a member of called “Joomla user group – Dallas / Ft. Worth”.
If you have not checked out Meetup.com, It’s a very good way to meet people with similar interests.
We met at a local restaurant called Cafe Brazil.
Picture this…12-15 internet Joomla users sitting at a group of bunched up tables with laptops (80% of us brought them) and NO wireless connection!
This is the 3rd time I have attended a meetup at this restaurant and each time they claim the free WiFi is fixed and nobody can connect!
It is the plano location at 190 and Coit rd. The service is also horrible there too. Avoid it at all costs.
I will say that I have never had a bad experience at the other locations of this restaurant, but this location is just unnerving and yucky to go to. No WiFi (after they tell you “it’s working” and you try and connect and no signal) and the wait staff if so inattentive it’s really bad. One night there I had to scream to find an employee to take my money to pay. There were no employees in the front at all for over 10 minutes.
Gotta find a new place to meet. That’s it.
