Starbucks can’t handle wi-fi demand…
Will this force them to change their policy?
Starbucks Corp. began offering coffee drinkers a way to get free Wi-Fi access at its shops on Tuesday, but some customers had a hard time cashing in.
That's because some people were unable to access Starbucks' Card Rewards Web site to sign up for the program, which offers two hours of free Wi-Fi access per day to participants.
Some visitors to the site were greeted with a pop-up window stating: "Due to overwhelming interest in Card Rewards, we are currently experiencing difficulty accessing Starbucks Card accounts. We are working to fix the problem and ask that you please try again later."
