Free WiFi.. and teh Moger
Aug. 17th, 2008 08:45 pmGot a coupon for a free McDonald's Southern Style sandwich.. tried it.. yuck. Chick-Fil-A much better.
So, I wanted to use the WiFi. Tried the "Do you have any free WiFi coupons?" which does work at some McD's.
No luck. Drank down my Coke and ate the "sand-witch."
Off to Taco Bell. Free WiFi!
So, there is a sign that says "Please limit your stay to 45 minutes" mainly due to the local schools.
I grab MogerMeal (Double Decker Taco, Bean Burro Toe, Cinnamon Twists and an X-Large Mountain Dew)
Sit down, and fire up the computer. Have to log into a "Mega-Bite" page to get access and I am online for FREE.
"Please limit your time if the tables are full."
Well, for the last 4 hours they haven't been full. (Yeah, I have been keeping track.)
But at almost 3 hours, the staff keeps walking by. None wanting to ask me to leave or anything. =)
I am guessing they are talking about me as they keep looking over here. =)
The police have been here a few times too (no, they were just picking up food.)
So they tried to shut off the one outlet here in the customer area, except it also seems to control many other things in the restaurant, possibly the soda/ice machine. While various things were out, they kept checking if I was online. Of course, I have about 30 minutes of battery power. =)
So, they gave up on that.
Next was a nice bold move. Cut off the internet, except it seemed to have some problems with their stuff again.. and I anticipated this, and stored some stuff to work on offline.
Now, all they have to do is walk over here and ask, mention something, whatever, and I am out of here =)
Going to leave at 9pm anyways (they close up the customer dining area at 10pm here.. but the signal does make it to the parking lot.... if I had a power inverter... hee hee)
Guess I am being a Moger =P
I wonder how long it is going to be before McD's offers free WiFi at all the stores.
They did cancel the Nintendo DS Free WiFi awhile ago =(
Jack-In-The-Box is "testing" Free WiFi via JackTV at some of their stores (such as the one in Thousand Oaks,. CA,) while other JBX locations such as the one on the 101 in Camarillo, CA are offering their own Free WiFi (which isn't time limited, filtered nor require a sign in.. and yes, it does reach into the parking lot.... and also at qdoba in Westlake Village, CA qnd Valencia, CA)
Oh, well, I better get moving.. hoof a moose excellent day!
