five thousand shades of blue

People can really be inconsiderate, thoughtless idiots. Not exactly the best post to make on Valentine's Day, but how else can you explain two dorks (who look like they've been cloned from the same Seattle-oid businessman) who walk up to the counter and proclaim (and I quote loosely here, because I was so flabbergasted that anyone would walk up to a coffee bar and say such a thing that I can't quite remember the exact words):
If you were Starbucks, we'd probably buy some coffee from you. We're kind of partial to Starbucks.Um,
excuse me? Not only is Starbucks grossly overrated, but they're overpriced, and their coffee's overroasted ("burned" comes to mind). Granted, my opinion may be slightly affected by the fact that I'm a small business owner, the kind that Starbucks puts on a regular basis, but I own up to that. I freely admit that. And sure, the next guy's certainly ENTITLED to like their coffee like that. It's a free country. What I
don't get is the gall, the unmitigated NERVE, to walk up to a non-Bucko coffee joint and tell the that to her face! Without even deigning to try a cup!
Grumble.
On the positive side, our permits for the city came through yesterday. Let the games begin!
is
this just not enough…?
