Peet's Just Will Not Get Wireless - So Starbucks Gets My Money
Here I am at a Starbucks, when what I'm really craving this morning is a Peet's. But I have to work, and Peet's just will not get wireless!
So I'm having a Starbucks half Sumatran, half-decaf Sumatran. It's OK. It's not a Peet's. Usually when I have to work I get a Starbucks Americano with extra room, beause thast is a strong drink, and I miss my Peet's less. But Peet's just won't get wireless, so I give my money to Starbucks. Go figure.
Comments
I have heard that Peet's is working on getting wireless in their stores. The problem as you probably know is people who spend $1.50 on a cup of coffee and sit all day, preventing the tables from 'turning over' to other customers. I was told that Peet's is testing offering something like an hour or 1/2 hour of free wireless with every drink purchased. Seems fair to me.

Why is everyone so concerned about wireless cafes? who are all these people that don't go to work and sit all day in cafes or that are working all day in cafes - don't you have an office. Starbucks is full of people staring at their laptops like they are busy and you see they are internet chatting. Real important stuff! No-one is talking to each other. it does not make for a friendly place. I'll take peets anytime.
coffee ethics and ambience are so much better.
