I've been going to this Borders off and on my entire pre-teen, teen and adult life. I've never had any major complaints as they have never minded allowing my stay for the duration of many afternoons rent-free - and once they began offering free WiFi, I was in love.
However, today - after an admittedly long hiatus from bookstore dwelling - as I was in the process of typing a blog entry and my laptop battery began to die, I realized that although they still offer free WiFi, they no longer have ANY wall outlets available for customers.
What. The. F$ck. (Can I say that on here?)
What kind of establishment - *especially* a bookstore - offers free WiFi without a wall outlet to recharge? According to the employee I asked, it's a "health code violation" (wtf?) - funny, that hasn't stopped any of the other major chain bookstores and coffee shops I've frequented. I would have stayed much longer and spent much more money on coffee shop delights and books if I had been able to recharge my laptop to continue looking up reviews. And, if it weren't for the 40% off coupons that earned one star, I would have packed up my laptop and taken my business to the bookstore across the street that offers wall outlets aplenty.
Boo, Rainbow Borders. Shame on you.
