Internet Minimart

This small internet café is tucked away on a second floor walkup above the hustle and bustle of the Annex. I had to run in to the Internet Minimart one day this past summer to check something online before going to meet some friends, and since neither of us were close enough to home, we popped right in.
The first difference, for those of you familiar with internet cafes, is that it is nice and bright inside. No dank internet basement full of teenage gaming enthusiasts here. Just a few seemingly well-​maintained machines, a helpful and quiet attendant, and one other user who seemed to be working on a paper or some other word document. So, no gaggle of boys crowded around a World of Warcraft map eating Cheetos! A very pleasant surprise indeed!
The rates were incredibly cheap (what accumulated to only a few dollars per hour), so we purchased the 30 minute minimum and checked what we needed to do. If we had more time on our hands I’d have just as soon run down to a library branch, but there seems to be a neverending line of people waiting to use internet-​enabled computers there, so of course the almighty dollar wins out every time. I would recommend this place if you really need to use the internet but make sure you’re going to get your money’s worth time wise, as it isn’t prorated by minute (which meant we paid for 30 minutes and used exactly two. The machines, like every internet café, could definitely work faster. I give it two stars out of a possible two stars (I refuse to give an internet café higher than that unless they actually serve coffee/​food).
