Doesn't mcdonalds offer their att wifi for free ? Mcdonald actually has to beg for wlkin service as opposed to drive thru.

The confusion will come when that same deal is expected at a barnes and noble cafe featuring starbucks coffee and att wifi, where the starbucks gift cards
will not work anyway.

So is the iPhone free wifi deal returning?

Moreover, the fact that they're a giant corporation with huge revenue makes it even more outrageous that they're still putting limits on it.

I wish they had a rewards card that for every 10 drinks I buy, I would get one for free. Again, what's their cost?

Everyone is offering free WiFi, StarBucks needs to as well, and with no strings attached. Wayy too complicated.
