Caffeine, the most widely used drug on the planet, has its hands around our necks. This is why there are so many places to buy it. Of course, you could make your own coffee, cheaper, at home. However, the social implications of coffee are much wider than simply consuming the drink. Drinking black instant coffee alone in the dark is for sleep deprived medicine and surgery residents on call. So let's just assume you embrace the financial premium of "premium coffee."
Enter Starbucks. As I sit here, I stare around and see the same regulars I always see. There is guy who talks to himself pretending to be on a cell phone. There is the guy who talks to himself wearing orange noise reduction headset and brings a suitcase of papers and a thermos from WWII filled with god knows what. Then there is old guy with a briefcase from 1960.
Then there is me, getting free wireless guy.
It could be you too.
In case you are always the last to know, just like me, you can get ATT WiFi for free at almost any starbucks.
Instructions
1.Getting a gift card at starbucks for like 10 bucks
2. Use it to buy a grande non-fat iced coffee with milk
3. Register it at THIS LINK TO FREE WIFI.
Free wifi is a scam designed to get library-phobic freeloading college students and other social miscreants to come to your establishment, buy something to drink, and make it look like you have a busy worthwhile business filled with customers. It used to be that only kitchsy places like Muddy's (for anti-establishment types) and Roasterie (for established types) gave out free wifi, but the connection kind of sucked. Of course, there has been wifi at Starbucks for sometime, but they charged for it! Then they had to close 600 stores and realized they had to start working for clients again. When I was in New York for three days, I saved $48 by not purchasing hotel internet access and opting to get my caffeine and email fix at the same place. I realize that for the fat cats with iPhones, this service does not have the same value but I didn't really know what else to endorse this week.

ReplyDeleteMcBrandon,
ReplyDeleteThe thing about starbucks is that it's usually filled with trendy new age homosexuals. Sure, there is free wifi. But is that worth having to watch a man in a scarf drink a fucking mocha frappuccino? I think not. Personally, I prefer to go to the holiday inn and use my computer in the parking lot from the comfort of my own car. Where pants are optional. Think about it bromosexual. Boom.
