Sault’s resident coffee expert shares thoughts with the world
Coffee Nate was featured in the local newspaper. I’m not going to give it all away, but he talks about his mission to help us drink better coffee and more.
Study: Coffee and tea may lower diabetes risk
Another reason why coffee is so amazing. A new study says that people that drink three to four cups a day have a 25 percent lower risk of diabetes. I’m sure this is all negated if your three to four drinks are sugar filled lattes.
McDonald’s to lift fee for Internet access
Listen up Starbucks, McDonald’s is giving away their wifi for free. I know that technically yours is free too, but we have to make a purchase, have a Starbucks card, etc. It’s time to get rid of at least the Starbucks card restriction. In Europe, I’ve heard that they have free wifi because of a partnership with T-Mobile. To make matters worse, I’ve heard that you’re going to make it five purchases before we get access to their “free” wifi. Starbucks don’t leave us out in the cold. Put a code on the receipt that gives them access to wifi for two hours if you really want to make sure only paying customers use the wifi.
Upset woman redefines coffee break at Peet’s in Chico
This woman obviously needed her coffee. Just because she didn’t buy her coffee inside that Peet’s they should’ve allowed her to get her cream and sugar there. There’s times when you just need your caffeine and this was obviously one of those times.

This is good for McDonald’s. In our small county the kids prefer McDonald’s [this particular restaurant really does rock the customer service!], but my daughter and her friends would have study groups at Bojangles since they offered free wifi. We don’t have a Starbuck’s in our county [rural living at its best], but agree they should get with the program. Putting a code on a receipt isn’t a bad idea if they want to limit who is using their service.
I think it’s really going to help their business. At first, I didn’t see myself using a laptop at McDonald’s – too many distractions and I’m usually in a rush. Then I remembered all of the times that I have been in McDonald’s and wished they had wifi so I could get some work done while I was waiting or if I needed a place to stop real quick and respond to some email.
Big congrats to Coffee Nate for getting in the paper, that’s hot right there!
As for McDonalds charging for internet, seems a little crazy at this point. We haven’t charged for internet use in over 5 years and we are a little company.

You mean Starbucks? If so, totally agree!
Thanks for the link up Mike!
I really wish Starbucks would just open up their Wifi like every other coffee shop/restaurant in our area. Luckily, the Starbucks closest to my house is also in a wifi cloud created by the city, so you can just tap into that instead of the Starbucks wifi.

Anytime!
I’m a big fan of business making things easier for the customer and if Starbucks doesn’t change I think it’s going to to be one of the stories of 2010. McDoanld’s giving away free Wifi really shows how behind in the game, Starbucks is.
Even Hooters and Waffle House has free wifi!

I love it! Free wifi for all!!! But Starbucks is stubborn. There are perks to having a card though. You get pumps of flavor for free and a free drink on your birthday! So it’s not all bad.
I have no problem with them requiring a purchase, but don’t make me jump through hoops to get it. However, those added benefits would be nice.
