Why did you log off? Open is open. You are welcome. If McDonald's had been next door would you have logged off of that connection?
McDonald's provides the wifi for the use of their customers. "Bill Smith", the private citizen does not. "Bill" contracts with an ISP for the benefit of his household and nobody else (that will be in the ISP's terms of service). next door neighbors and others who may detect his signal are not part of his household. sure, "Bill" should lock down his wifi signal but if "Bill" left his garage door open would you feel entitled to borrow his lawnmower, tools, etc?
