The curmudgeon has been speaking about political issues so much lately it looks like the ad engines from Google are starting to run ads for insurance plans and the Governor of Wisconsin in the side bar.
It is time to get back to typical curmudgeon fare – coffee shops.
I have read elsewhere that some coffee shop owners have become so frustrated with customers who sit for hours using free wifi that they are considering not providing wifi at all.
Here in North Dakota we have a different problem – people who come to coffee shops expecting to sit around all day and drink coffee. The more creative types have found a solution – charge customers by the hour. It is kind of like a “two drink minimum”, but based on time rather than consumption.
If it were my place, I would charge for trips to the bathroom.
