The staff at Victrola Café & Art is sick of talking about Wi-Fi. Given the opportunity, as at a recent cupping in the back of the store to smell and taste the latest in-house roasts, the group prefers to talk about cafe culture, or how to create a nuanced light roasted coffee.

This isn't exactly news. Once again, one can't legislate courtesy.

So last month the cafe discontinued the free service on Saturdays and Sundays--and so far it has proved to be a sound business move. Weekend revenue is up and more seats are filled.

It's unfortunate that there are so many assholes in the world. There are ways to do time based authentication certificates and linking wi-fi time to a purchases on a POS (point of sale) system wouldn't be too hard but probably too far above the skill level of your average barrista to support :(
