I don't go to Starbucks because of their Wi-Fi. Most places I can just walk in and start using it, but with Starbucks I need to maintain a cash card and register it online, then after that it has a time limit. It sounds simple to do, but it's yet another card I need to carry around with me everywhere for no good reason.
I just went through that whole sign up process, and ended up at att.com, staring at a screen demanding my starbucks card # and pin.
It says you can get your 2 hours a day if you have a starbucks card that you've topped up in the last 30 days. Just like the grandparent whinged about.
So maybe it got good for a month or two and reverted, but regardless, it's still painful today.
