Anywhere we can see coffee shops giving free wireless internet to their incoming diners, enabling anyone to use free WiFi internet connection as an exchange for foods or drinks. But, it also becomes hangout place for job seekers with their own laptop searching for job vacancy listings available on the internet.
Florida Today give stories of many and many job hunters rely on free Wifi from local coffee shops just to get connected online, instead of cyber cafe or paid internet provider. With $2 of coffee cup, you have chance to go online up to 2 hours!
In Malaysia, many fast food outlets - StarBukcs, Coffee Bean, McDonalds an KFC gives free WiFi nowadays, but only for working day on Monday to Friday only. Public holiday and weekends becomes a bad day from new and old job seekers.
In Malaysia, while maybe some of the free wi-fi users at kfs, mcd etc are job seekers, many of them are college, university students who buy a cup of drinks and then use the wi-fi facility, but at the same time denying other customers seats. Hate this kind of freeloaders.
