WiFi Squatting (Score 2, Interesting)

Here in L.A. it's especially annoying because we have lots of actors and screenwriters who use Starbucks as their production office. Personally, I don't think one cup of $4 coffee justifies using a whole table for your office all day, plus electricity. There should just be a time limit for everyone- to give customers a chance to come and go. One thought I had, can you get the WiFi signal if you sit outside the location? Why not have some overflow seating outside for the squatters? Of course, as was mentioned above, removing access to power outlets would probably eliminate a lot of this problem. Then again, maybe these coffee shops need to be redesigned to allow for more people, and for social gatherings- like bars. Have a fooseball table, a pool table, daycare, petcare, etc.
