Apparently some McDonald’s customers will go to extremes just to get access to free McDonald’s WiFi.
Attracting customers with free remote working spaces can be big business for coffee shops and quick-service restaurants. Many establishments like Starbucks and Whole Foods cater to this audience because people who spend a few hours at a location will often order several menu items throughout the day. Even fast-food restaurants like McDonald’s now offer free WiFi and power outlets. Most people take advantage of the free McDonald’s WiFi perk by using their laptop or smartphone. But for some people, like this woman, free WiFi is more important than portability.
