However, I know they provide this service so I will spend money in their place of business. And I do just that. It is so convenient to be able to go somewhere between meetings or tasks and get some personal time to research or just play that I am more than glad to spend my money with those merchants.

Excuse me if that seems a little too obvious to me. I've been saying the same thing for what seems like years with computers taking away from people just being able to sit down and enjoy a normal conversation with another human being. Way before the days of free wifi. These coffee shop owners are just now figuring this out??? No. Not really. No one can possibly be that dumb.
