So I was in the Starbucks the other week. I went in there to use their wifi internet. I bought a soda (just so they would not say that I was in there taking up space from the paying cutomers), but the lady behind the register waited until AFTER I paid for my soda (which incidentally was nasty, by the way) to tell me that I had to pay to use their internet service.

The breakdown was this: in order to use their internet service, I had to purchase a gift card (minimum of $5). Then, I had to take the gift card and activate it on the internet. Once it was activated, I was to bring it back to Starbucks. I would then be allowed to use the internet service at Starbucks.

First of all, if I have no internet of my own, how exactly did they think I was going to be able to activate the card? Secondly, If I go somewhere else and find some internet service, why would I need to come back to Starbucks? What sense would that make?

Needless to say, I left Starbucks feeling highly, unidentifiably pissed. And on top of that, I would like to reinterate that the soda was nasty. And she didn’t give me a refund. So not only could I not use the internet, but she cheated me out of my $2 and etc. cents. That’s money I will never see again.

So I thought I would just blow off a little steam and tell you why I personally am pissed at Starbucks.
