And right across the parking lot from Starbucks, ANYONE can sit down in any
of THREE restaurant/coffee shops/bakeries like Atlanta Bread or Panera
Bread or Quiznos and sit there as long as they like with a coffee for half
of what Starbucksandmorebucks wants, eat much better food and use FREE WIFI
all afternoon, in the comfort of the Panera Bread living room with the
other wifi users....just for looking at Panera's ad on their browser....
Paying for wifi is just STUPID! Paying ATT or Starbucks is even MORE
STUPID!
Y'all boys come by Pizza Roma, Dorchester Rd at Montague Ave near I-526 in
North Charleston, SC. Absolutely the finest Pizza, Stromboli, NJ subs,
Calzone in Charleston, SC. The two brothers who own it were raised in
daddy's Italian restaurant in New Jersey. Look for Pizza Roma running WIDE
OPEN on your wifi devices with great signal and serious bandwidth on
Knology Cable, totally unhobbled. Help yourselves....(c;

Lots of Starbucks in Houston Texas are located inside of Barnes &
Noble bookstore, so one could sit down at a Barnes & Noble table, just
outside of Starbucks and use the WiFi, and not buy a coffee.
Or one could even sit at a table in the back of Starbucks without a
coffee and use the WiFi at no cost; and if anyone said anything (which
never happens) just say "I'm waiting for my mother".

I'm 62. I think they'd call the cops.....(c;
The nerdy kids around here park their cars in the hotel parking lots and
use theirs. Try explaining to a cop looking for a naked teenage girl that
you're just parked there using the hotel's free wifi for the last 3 hours.
Even your pocket protector won't convince him.....

Never had a problem parking in a parking lot to use WiFi, and I'm
in your age bracket.

"In my age bracket" they just think I'm an Altzheimers early stage
patient...."He'll find his way, eventually."
When they're 17 sitting there, they're up to no good...same as we were way
back THEN, laid back listening to the buzz from the mechanical vibrator in
the AM car radio's power supply.....killing the battery....(c;
