I never see it in Canada, we only have it commonly in restaurants & malls. But not box or grocery stores.

Strange, as a Canadian Save-On-Foods (primarily BC) shopper, I regularly use their in-store WiFi.

It's starting to appear. WalMart has instore wifi that I can never get to actually work. Fortinos and other PC grocery stores have in-store wifi now. Actually seems more consistent than the mall.

Every Metro I've been to seems to have it.
