Plenty useful back when Panera limited you to 30 minutes of wifi; no idea if they still do.
Their wifi solution tracked you by MAC -- I think it was Sonicwalls? -- so when you hit the 30-min limit you'd spoof the MAC, re-connect, then back to business as usual.
I'd usually comply when the place was bumping -- hard to work when it's loud and crazy -- but most of the time it was empty in the mornings and the 30-min-limit was pointless.
