The “power” side is pretty obvious, given my ever increasing desire for portable charging, where as the “whoring” focuses on the provision of a vital service for a fee. In this case the fee I pay is that of the regular cups of coffee and/or mentions in social media of the cafe providing the service. While many cafes these days provide free WiFi, not all of them have somewhere to plug in, and for someone like myself who brings their own WiFi, having power is much more valuable.
Long story short, when writing reviews for cafes I will endeavour to add a section to the summary bar of each cafe review with a description of if and where power is available. If you happen to find a great #powerwhoring location, especially one in a cafe, please let me know.
