Re:How does Starbucks knows how to grab my MAC Address? by greenyoda on Sunday December 14, 2014 @06:25PM (#8749968)
How do you know they're getting it from your browser? They could have just stored your MAC address somewhere when you connected to their wireless router. For example, they might have a custom DHCP server that stores your MAC address along with the IP address it assigns to you in some database that's accessible to the web server. The web server can then look up your IP address in the database and obtain your MAC address.
