Yeah, I can imagine. FWIW, I've yet to visit one in California (even
deep in the 'hood where I sometimes hang out) that didn't have it.

Nah, not at all. When I'm in "need to work but getting cabin fever in
the office" mode, I can be in a SB as long as 6 hours at a time, and
there's never any pressure to even buy anything. What's obvious is
how some of the stores didn't expect laptop users to take off- I keep
a plug strip in my car 'cause many stores have only one outlet, and
some none at all.
