Finally got the nerve to ask for a coffee shop's wifi password in Barcelona
I was at a small place called Cafe Cometa near the Gothic Quarter and my phone data was gone. I saw a guy working on a laptop and just asked him straight up if he knew the code. He pointed to a tiny sign behind the sugar jar that said 'cortado2024'. It felt like a little secret handshake. Anyone else have a trick for this when traveling?

Honestly, I just ask the staff every single time. It feels more polite than bothering another customer who might not even know it. Plus, you avoid that awkward moment if the person you ask is also just guessing. The staff is paid to help with stuff like that. I've never had a barista get annoyed about it. It's their job.

Asking another customer is my go-to move, though @the_richard has a solid point about the staff. I just like the tiny gamble of it, like a low-stakes game. My success rate is about fifty-fifty, which tracks for most of my plans.
