Actually, that all sounds pretty good. Add a couple of eggs, some cheese, then bake it sor a breakfast casserole. With more coffee.

For every person nursing their one cup of coffee, there are three or four people who buy a second cup, get a danish or scone or otherwise buy extra because they are sitting there so long. If this were not the case, they would not offer the wi-fi. They see a benefit to doing so and they don't need to come up with a new model for it. Panera has started a timer on their free wi-fi during the lunch rush. This seems perfectly reasonable to me at a time where turnover is important. But for the rest of the day, they offer it free, because their customers are likely to order more if they are there longer. On Saturdays, my son has Martial Arts class. I sit in a bagel shop with free wi-fi while he is in class. I always order a bagel, usually get a coffee and a bagel for my wife and father-in-law and ever week or two, after tasting some of their 'free samples' get a brownie or a muffin. They are glad to have me sitting there for my hour or so because they make a good profit off of the time that I sit there. If they didn't offer wi-fi, I would go in, buy my bagel (they have wonderful flavored cream cheeses) and go find another place with wi-fi to sit and patronize with the extra spending. |

If they don't want people taking up table space & reading on an ereader then why not set a good example and prohibit reading paper books.

I've been to coffee shops because they generally serve some sort of food...and I have friends that drink coffee.....and they all have an air of "I'm smarter and better than you because I do here" EVERY SINGLE SHOP that I've been in. And the Mac store has that air too, more so than any place I've ever been....if you don't buy a mac then you are not as good as the rest of us. |
