All About the People

It is pretty lame when you have patronized a cafe and they start shorting your latte. Just yesterday, my mug was not filled to the top as it had always been.  This happened another time last week and I observed their process.  Two weeks ago, the owner charged me for a medium latte - a first!   I used the same mug I bring in.  Yesterday was the final straw.

I was told they have to be more cost efficient.  These folks don't care about service.  They have high prices and expect customers to bus their finished meal to the recycling station.  For a while they agree to discount the mug you bring thereby saving them the cost of a paper cup. They agreed because I asked them to do it. This is a common place in our town.  It also encourages less environmental waste.

But these people don't care.  They blah blah blah about LOVE YOUR COMMUNITY.  They LOVE THEIR DOLLAR! Enough of them.

For too long I have defended them.  To friends, to passersby who don't like either the atmosphere, food or owners. I have heard more negatives about this cafe than any other place in town. 

Things are changing everywhere.  It is time to be part of that change and latte elsewhere.  Most likely my home.  It will ultimately be a good thing. 

The past few months have been real eye openers. I will be in seacoast New Hampshire soon.  The bad taste in my month from this event will be but a memory.  My friends tell me this cafe will be as well.

I do love my community.  It isn't about money.  It is all about the people.
