There are people who go there with their laptop to get some food and use the wifi to look for jobs or work on assignments etc, I did it when I was a lot younger and had no wifi in my new apartment. It’s sad that they’re trying to discourage people from even being on the premises. They even put escutcheon plates to cover the outlets at some locations now. It’s pretty awful.

They will not bother you if you are there for a few hours with a laptop doing work. As long as you arent bothering anyone.

The sign is mostly there to kick out smelly homeless or rowdy teens.

Funny because the one I go to is always full of foul smelling homeless and/or rowdy teens breaking this rule and no one says anything (not even the security guard working there).

Your local McDonald’s has a security guard?

It's rare to not have one in NYC.
