I was at a Panera recently and was surprised they imposed a 30 minute
limit on wifi.  After 30 minutes I was no longer able to browse the
net, only visit a Panera page mentioning my time had expired.

Personally, I think a 30 minute limit is perfectly reasonable for
Panera to impose. However, I was curious to know if changing the
wifi's MAC address would have allowed me to connect again.  That's
worked very well for me in other locations, e.g. hotels.  But I needed
to leave anyways.  A test for next time.
