Having recently partnered with AT&T, Starbucks is doing something generous and long overdue.
Free WiFi (with a small catch).
If you buy a Starbucks Card (or already happen to have one since they are the universal gift of every holiday where you have to give a lot of things to a lot of meaningless people), you can register it online. Once you register you are part of the “Starbucks Rewards Program” where you get some perks.
They send you a free drink. (Correction: Not send you the drink. Send you a coupon for a free drink.) You get free modifiers to your drink whenever you use the card. You don’t have to pay extra for things like soy milk and fancy flavors. The best part is that you get free AT&T wireless internet in every Starbucks location, which means anywhere you happen to be.
I know I’m taking them up on the offer. Thanks, AT&T, for knocking some sense into Starbucks. Maybe you aren’t so horrible after all.
