2008_11_laptop.jpgToday's Post reports on an Upper East Side cafe that is charging customers $12 a day if they want to plug in their laptops. M. Rohrs' House of Fine Teas and Coffees has signs next to the outlets in the store that say, "Warning: Theft of electrical service is prohibited." Those wanting to plug in can also pay $3 an hour if they're not looking to camp out. The practice has been going on since the beginning of this year, but it sounds like the owner may have been a little testy with the Post when their reporter came by asking if any customers objected to the charge for a charge. "What's to complain about? If you don't want the service, don't take it," Donald Wright said to the paper.
