"A Cafetaria Canto do Tejo é um espaço central no Montijo, prático por fechar tarde (algo raro em Portugal) e com ambiente animado, bom atendimento e, às vezes, até DJs ao vivo. Costumo passar lá para comprar bebidas e nunca tive problemas durante a semana. Porém, no sábado à noite fui barrado na entrada pelo segurança por estar de boné. Ele pediu que eu o retirasse para poder entrar, o que achei estranho, já que eu estava apenas de bermuda, camiseta e celular no bolso. Questionei a funcionária sobre o motivo e ela apenas disse, meio constrangida, que aos fins de semana aplicam essa regra, mas sem explicar o porquê e acho que nem ela sabia. Curiosamente, havia pessoas de boné na área externa, mas para entrar no salão (inclusive para usar a casa de banho) é obrigatório retirar. Achei a regra sem muito sentido, mas fora isso o local é movimentado e agradável."
