A strange dispute erupted this month over a vegan cafe’s lack of Wi-Fi. Huddersfield’s ‘Goat Cafe’ came under scrutiny when they rejected the notion of Wi-Fi altogether, claiming that it ‘exploits humans’. This bizarre internet bashing was, ironically, posted on Facebook which lead to a series of complaints from their customers.
Their message, which has since been deleted, read “being vegan, we believe humans are being exploited within the use of modern technology and would like to set a precedent in saying that we are ditching our internet.”
Sadly, for the cafe’s owners this was a cause of much controversy as many customers couldn’t bear the thought of being without Wi-Fi (quite rightly). Curly Kale but no email wasn’t going to cut it for these guys but customer complaints weren’t taken lightly. One customer was even told “F*** you Bethany, and f*** your plans!” after she let the owner know that she would now have to cancel her upcoming visit.
Another local was allegedly asked “when exactly are you going to die?”.
We here at Geekabit sympathise with those wanting to connect to Wi-Fi. We believe that you should be able to sip a soy chai without being asked when you’re going to die.
