Affected intellectualism/hipness/artistic temperament. It’s much better to visit out of a love for the actual coffee, or tea, or even the ambiance. On the subject, Starbucks coffee has actually been pretty inferior for awhile–even to other chains’ like Dunkin’ Donuts and Sheetz. What’s up with that?

You’d think the lack of WiFi would convince people to hurry along after the 14th African berry zinger. But no… alas. Maybe that’s why they keep it off Sunday nights, even though it’s sick and wrong.

I can understand on a Saturday night or whenever you were there, they’re happy to not have people camp out all day to use their connection.

But when I showed up on a Sunday evening, placed an order, only to find that there was no WiFi. And the obnoxious message you get when you try to log in is something to the effect of “Relax! It’s the weekend! Get away from your computer and spend time with friends.” I’ll go online late on Sunday night if I want to, thank you very much. Luckilly I was able to cancel my order in time.
