All I Want Is a Proper Cup of Coffee
Some Rules we read in the indie coffee shop Just Pat and I visited last night:
"Drunk is ok - obnoxious is not. You will be banned."
"Did you buy a drink? No? THEN STAY THE HELL OUT OF OUR BATHROOMS!"
"Do not put trash in this thing here. I hate you all."
"Trash goes in this thing here."
"NO BUMS. BUMS are ANNOYING."
And my favorite: "NO SLEAZIN ON THE LADIES."
One of the coffee drinks was called an Osama Bin Latte. Another was an Irish Car Bomb. This is not a politically correct place of business. There were many other expressive quotes taped up on the wall that I won't quote here.
There's something appealing to me about a place of business that skips all the politically correct stuff and says "Don't give us any of your shit. If you don't like us, fine. Go away."
(it also says a bit about the location and clientele...... But that's not the point)
I found an interesting article about the place. Check it out.
The JR is coming for a visit tomorrow! I can't wait!
I'm getting my hair cut today. I'm going to look just like Charlize Theron. Really!
You'll see.

Wow, you found an article already! Cool story. Surreal experience. Funny, the quote "the other shops are trying too hard to be like Starbucks;" these guys just aren't trying period, and they're doing alright!
