NSFW language

Funny. The best coffee shop I have been to (best espresso, turkish, lattte - terrible decor) was a place in San Jose, California, called the Coffee Bug. A Ukrainian owned it and ran it by himself for a couple of years - damn - can't recall his name right now. By far and away the most knowledgeable man on coffee I have had the pleasure of speaking with. He is a story onto himself, but back to my point as related to the video. In his cafe, the customer was not always right. He had a simple menu and served great coffees. If you came in for your fancy-schmancy-blah blah, well, he wouldn't serve you. Several times did I see him walk out on a customer - or ask them to leave. After a bit of theatrics, everyone would be happy. He was a purist is the best sense (mostly), except when he became irate. It was nice to see a business where the customer wasn't always right (he had no time for people on cellphones as they tried to order). Unfortunately, he went out of business.

Since when did this become a forum for swearing? Really offensive!!!

You've just described my ideal coffee shop.

I agree that it's offensive

I thought it was pretty funny myself & spot on as far as cell phone A--h--es go.

Funny!
I also dislike people that congregate in the middle of the big isles at the store (grocery, mall, etc) a block the whole thing so you have to walk through the unmentionables section to get around, if you can at all.
I was asked to leave a Meijer for blowing an air horn to get people to move so I could get my cart through. The manager told me on the way to the door he wasn't really going to eject me just don't do it again but he thought it was hilarious and wished he could have seen the people jump.

Although I found it funny, it is PG-13+ language. As a matter of policy, this site strongly discourages coarse language and does not permit offensive language (i.e., "seven dirty words"). Thus I have marked this thread as "NSFW" (not safe for work) and locked it. Thanks for your understanding.
