is not purchasing their business and encouraging my peers to avoid the business an option? I want my connection to the hive mind and i will let practices that discourage this to wither
I'd hardly say they're DISCOURAGING anything. They're simply stating a fact: we don't have this service available. That's like saying McDonalds discourages donut consumption because they don't sell donuts. They're not saying there's anything wrong with eating donuts, or telling you not to, they're just giving you a heads-up that you won't find donuts here.
It’s more like McDonalds saying they don’t have doughnuts so pretend like they are a product we can’t offer in the first place. It’s more redundant than anything.
And... they Literally might not be able to offer it. Internet costs money, the fibreoptic and such may not be good in the building, it may disrupt the actual work environment. Just like McDonalds may not actually be able to offer donuts due to the way their current set-ups are laid out.
.
But it's definitely more reasonable to throw a fit because the cafe gave you a heads that they don't provide a service you have no reason to feel entitled to (like the OP) than to just accept that they don't have it, and appreciate that they at least provided this information.
.
It would be much better if they just removed the cheeky sign that somehow triggered that person so badly. That way people can wander in and spend time clogging up the counters, asking about the Wi-Fi. It's definitely preferable to waste the time of everyone involved. If you can withhold the info until after they've unpacked their laptops and such all the better. O.o
