Wi-Fi at McDonalds?!?


So I was passing by a McDonalds, and I noticed a sign that said "Wi-Fi Here". What the heck? Who would want to bring their Lappy to a McDonalds and conect to a Wi-Fi for a COST?!? First of, really? Who wants to sit in a loud, crowded, McDonalds? And then it costs MONEY just to stinkin' get online? Who would do that? My only thought is some family on a road trip, and they pass by one, need to check directions and dont have a map, or maybe the dad needs to check his email, and doesn't have a Blackberry, so on. I'm just trying to figure out why McDonalds would do Wi-Fi. Popularity? Peer Presure? Who knows? Maybe it's good that everywhere you can find an open Wi-Fi network.

I agree that a McDonald's doesn't seem like the kind of place I'd like to hang out and surf the web. It lacks the comfortable ambiance of a coffee shop. I think you're right, though, that I'm sure it comes in handy occasionally to pop into any McDonald's and use the Wi-Fi. But it should be free! More and more businesses that used to charge for Wi-Fi are now offering it free; McDonald's should do that, too.
