This happens a lot in the U.S. at coffee shops. I was a regional sales manager and would always get coffee when traveling. So many digital nomads would set up camp all morning that sometimes you couldn’t find a seat. Even buying one coffee and a pastry does not justify taking up a space for more than a couple of hours.

[@user-zy1oh8jk7j]

I traveled throughout the US and every public library I entered had free WIFI. The most I ever had to do was show my out of state ID to get a password.

Hi there Paul, Another great video! I’m happy you mentioned broke Mark Thornton, He is absolutely the worst blogger I’ve ever seen in my life ! He consistently brags and brags and brags about himself and 95% of it is all lies! The dude has no friends in USA. He has no friends period! And is kicked out of Ground Zero ! I actually enjoy watching everyone of your videos. They give lots of very valuable information day. I’ve been going to the Philippines for the last 20 years and is my favorite country to visit 😅 BGC is my main base,,,,,It has everything you may need plus the best hospitals,,,,,,,,keep posting your videos! They are the best!😊

[@user-zy1oh8jk7j]

BGC isn't really "the Philippines" . But I understand.

[@25Soupy]

Places like the Philippines people will do anything to save a nickel. 30 years ago in Vancouver I worked in a place where many Filipinos worked in the kitchen and concession stands for sporting events. In the staff room was a Coke machine for $.25 to save employees some money. I was working late and came into the staff room and an older Filipina lady emptied the machine to take a loaded bag of soda home to save a nickel on each can. No surprise, not too long after they raised the price to $.50. It's like they would fish the last fish out of the sea and not consider the consequences of their actions.

He’s a ridiculous old man that came to the PI completely broke. Started a KZbin channel trying to supplement his meager SS income, told his viewers he was gonna buy a 15 million dollar cruise liner. Beat up on another old man they say is disabled and was banned from a local coffee shop.

Found this in the Dumaguete expat group page: Members of the USA Olympic boxing team, lead by none other than Mark will be giving Free classes on self defense in Cebu on April 3-5. This class is free. Thought you would like to attend. Maybe give a demonstration of a right uppecut to a bigger opponent.

[@kenamaro]

Is this why it’s called ‘Dramaguete’ ?? 😂

[@PaulWorldZoom]

I think so. That is fairly new

[@jsully4064]

@kenamaro Actually heard a couple of locals from Duma that said that name had been around for a long time, it isn't new. High school kids have been calling it that for quite awhile. Almost every city around here has a funny name too; Melbourne is Melboring, Deland is Deadland, The Villages is known as the 'STD Capital of America' People always make up funny names for cities they live in. Move along children, nuthin to see here...lol

[@CruickedReality]

I will never watch another one of "Every Man's videos. I can't believe he did not purchase anything at that coffee shop. Add up the value over the years and that is "FELONIUS FREELOADING". Every other coffee shop in Duma should proactively ban hi as well.....

There was free laundry at NAS Jacksonville for RV park and Marina customers only. The machines kept wearing out early. Turns out a Non RV/Marina Filipina had a laundry business charging customers by the pound and would sneak in in the middle of the night. She had been doing this for quite a while and when caught and banned from base for life she insisted she did nothing wrong even though there were signs posted everywhere.

[@user-zy1oh8jk7j]

But Filipinos are such wonderful people? 😏🙄🙄🙄

[@michaelpettit9706]

@user-zy1oh8jk7j hahaha yeah like everywhere there's good and bad. Here in PH they say family is everything yet siblings will sell land out from underneath each other, land that is not even legal to sell! There have been several trike jackings lately in Misamis Oriental where instead of just wearing a mask and taking the trike, they will kill the driver so no witness. Same for accidents. They will sometimes run over and kill the injured motorcyclist so they don't have to pay life long hospital bills and restitution, no witness also. So yeah, urban America isn't an outlier.

[@hurleywilson7246]

Renamed "Ground Zero Free Wifi". What a cheap jerk (Mark).

[@PaulWorldZoom]

[@gowithin9451]

Excellent video Paul!!! Today Andy Omar posted a video showing the truth of what happened at the coffee shop between Dexter and Mark Thorton. I was a follower of Mark but after watching the video, and seeing the lies, I have unsubscribed to his channel. But this goes much deeper and really needs to be addressed by the attorneys and authorities in the Philippines. Go back to the beginning when Marks first anger issues surfaced after his interview with you Paul. I found it extremely bizarre at the time how he went from a simple interview to Dr Jeckel to Mr. Hyde. Now fast forward to the ground zero coffee shop fight between Mark and Dexter. Again, you see a man who seems to fly off the handle rather easy but even worse, he seemed to enjoy inflicting pain on Dexter, and it shows in his video he did days later after the fight. When you go back and listen to him describing the fight, he is talking a mile a minute and it shows how much he enjoyed causing the pain. I don't know if it's true or not, but it was brought to my attention Mark had some serious issues of depression in his past. Maybe it's time for one of his friends if he has any to step forward and get him some help. I say this with good intentions!!!

[@Steve-nu4sv]

As a business the rates for providing Internet access attract commercial rates. If you want to sit there all day accessing WiFi and buy nothing you can expect pushback from the business owner. Some cafe's in the UK allow 30 minutes free access after which you need to pay for additional time using either a card or a voucher purchased from the till.

[@David-ij7tx]

Your content is very good. Appreciate your insight. free loaders piss me off

[@PaulWorldZoom]

Thank you

[@lmcc0072]

Free is never free. Someone has to pay for something if you’re not paying. You might be eating for free, getting free wi-fi, getting a free drink, etc… but it’s not free for whoever is paying. These establishments offer “free” amenities to attract business. If you’re using the “free” amenities and not patronizing their business, you are a freeloader. Even if you buy a coffee and a donut doesn’t mean that you’re entitled to occupy space, using the restroom, and using the wi-if for several hours. These businesses are losing money on you and now they’re taking away these “free amenities” to get rid of you.

[@PaulWorldZoom]

I agree completely

[@johnnyg7899]

I rarely (if ever) use Starbucks in the U.S. and so do many other Americans. For that reason, Starbucks has lost many customers in the U.S. even with free wifi. So if they decided to make wifi unavailable in the Coffee houses in the Philippines, guess what? They are going to lose a lot of business there because the locals don't use Starbucks that often to begin with. Instead of shutting wifi down, what they should had done was make purchases mandatory for use of their premises. That way no business is lost and the wifi would still be available.

[@user-zy1oh8jk7j]

Sure. You get a password good for an hour with a purchase. It's reasonable.

[@68chewy]

Patronizing a place that you use their services seems like common decency to me. Even if I use a gas station restroom i will (try to) buy a water or gum on the way out. Long line maybe not, but still.

[@PaulWorldZoom]

Well said, exactly

[@JJthelonelybullinasia]

Even in BGC hardly any businesses have wifi. It's very frustrating. Thailand has wifi nearly everywhere. Even the really small sidewalk Cafes in Thailand and Vietnam offer free wifi.

[@PaulWorldZoom]

Yes they do. You’re right

[@patduss174]

That won't last. Any shop that doesn't have wifi is losing out on all foreigners or students. It's a dealbreaker for me.

[@NapoleonDynamyte]

They can fix that with a wifi code on your receipt after a purchase of some food or drink. They could set a minimum and still retain the wifi for the regular customers.

[@coffeecup3177]

Has Mark thought about asking the Ground Zero folks if he could maybe rent that area where he conducts his interviews as a Private Studio Space. He could offer $75 for the first hour and an additional $22 for each 15 minute block of time after the 1st hour is up. It could be a win win for both parties.

[@rustynail3630]

Mark would never pay that. He doesn’t even get his guest’s coffee

[@michaelpettit9706]

Those are Manhattan prices!

[@PaulWorldZoom]

[@robertchristianson1187]

[@MrShieldone]

Data is so cheap in the Philippines so I dont patronize a business based on whether or not the wifi is free. Generally if I am at a coffee shop, I am there for coffee and conversation, not wifi.

Nice that there's No WiFi in shops keeping people off there phones, it will do them no harm what so ever, nicer just to talk to people, very smart of the coffee shops to spot the free loaders.

[@brianbaxter3913]

Last time I was at Robinson Mall and check my phone it says I can use the wifi. All the places I go as in bars and restuarants I still get wifi but then again I am always buying something at these places. I can understand if places say buy something then you can have use of the wifi and I don't blame them as many sit all day taking up space that other customers could use. It is simple don't hog the wifi.

[@edexter97]

I had looked up free wifi on Google maps and then went to a coffee shop based on that. My impression is that they would not have many customers at that time a day without that and I bought a coffee there even though I wasn't after service. Starbucks might be able to draw people on quality or something so maybe it's not.a big deal to them. It is possible to get a dual sim phone and use more then one wireless service on the same phone so maybe that would help with the range.

[@sdickinson5234]

If someone is coming into your business and hanging out and they just don't have any money, I agree that's not something you really want. However, if people actually have money and are coming in and hanging out for long periods of time but not ordering anything that's a great opportunity to figure out how you can provide something they actually want or need.

[@PaulWorldZoom]

Some places here change the password frequently and put the current password on the receipt. You may want to suggest that to them.

[@Bigdoggie222]

I like going to a Barnes and Noble book store to see the latest offerings, and almost always purchase books and then go to the cafeteria area to get a drink and dessert or Quiche. I see so many people taking advantage of their wifi. They take up a whole table with their laptop and then read magazines which they have no intention of purchasing, and most of the time, won't bother to put the magazines back when they leave. They might buy a coffee or not. There are many people out there like Mark, but most will at least buy something.

[@rustynail3630]

What I find amusing is that Mark has commented that foreigners should be willing to pay more because it will help the Filipino people. Meanwhile he pays nothing and does not contribute to the Ground Zero business

Mark feels that with allowance from Steve , Marks SS of 654 after paying hos credit card bills , IRS fines , and back child support . The income from his failing to you tube channel , and if he can ever prove baby Rogaine is his with a DNA test he will collect 447 a month for baby pay day . Mark will be paying off his chinese car for the next 67 months , and it looks like he will need money for a lawyer and fines and court cost in the future . Of course when he gets deported . He will no longer have baby Rigaine to support but will keep the 447 a month stipend .
