kilobytes has a distinct set of clientile, the regulars and the newbies, predominantly male, from adolescents (kids from the school adjacent to the house) to young adults (including three science instructors) who have found their first love in the inanimate. the regulars trace their roots from the shop's soft opening, scheduled (or not) noodle parties, graveyard or holiday exclusives and such. they can be endearing in their youth and can be equally a pain in the !@#$% all at the same time
the drummer-drumming to the beat of the pulsating r&b numbers emanating from altec lansing speakers on one side of the wallis not a crime but the beating on the desk is. the vibration not only brings havoc to the hardware but to the peace of mind to the not so keen on drums and stuff.
the fashionista-school holiday or not, not a strand of hair is out of place on this lad's head. no wonder college girls teem the coffee shop during breaktime. kilobytes' brew is an attraction of its own but having an eyecandy in residence doesn'thurt business at all.
the loyalist-would never succomb to the lure of other gaming stations and would usually wait in qeueu until the ongoing match(frequently a 4v4 dota game) to conclude
the philantropist-for the love of the game would pay for the rental of any worthy opponent.
the freeloader - money could be an issue and is the type that would usually wait for an invite from the philantropist to get into the game.
the kibitzer-the species is everywhere, issuing instructions here and there but never get around to playing the game hands-on except on some occasion when a player leaves the station without finishing playing time.on other days, staying in the airconditioned room and listen to bisrock on the wmp seem to be enough reasons to linger.
the newbies-could be anyone who happen to pass by the neighborhood and finds a vacant seat, either for an hour of gaming orfriendster. yes, friendster is quite a staple here.
the deaf/mute-most of them, if not all, transfigure into this type whenever end time is announced. time and again, question as to time extension must be repeated to get either an affirmative or negative response. total concentration was the main alibibut in the operator's point of view, it's a ploy to extend play time without being charged for it.
