Yeah a lot of stores don't really have anywhere to sit unless you want to sit outside in the summer, and many also don't have electrical outlets you can use without being an obvious bum, or maybe an oddball one or two that just happen to be in the right place at the right time. So it takes some scouting work, but people realized that if you sell food (everybody needs to eat y'know) and people have even a small place to eat it, then also having free wifi and electrical outlets is a very good way to get more foot traffic in your store beyond vagrants just stopping in to use the bathroom.
I always find something to buy when I spend a lot of time in such a situation because I believe it should be at least a little bit of a fiar trade. Today, I bought a rotisserie chicken that should last 3-4 days. The guy with the chicken cart told me to take one of his hot and fresh ones instead of the one on the shelf. I wonder what they do with the ones on the shelf, but I'm going to guess they get recycled into various pre-prepared foods that go on the refrigerated shelves. Imagine that! A happy store worker who wants the customer to have the best of the pickings even though he's just sitting in a corner all day leeching electricity and wifi for his sad excuse of a life? Wow like what if most people are actually nice if you're not impinging upon them. Just imagine.
