So tomorrow is the first day of classes for Roanoke College, and of course we figured we'd have an onslaught of loud and chatty sorority girls returning from winter break to inundate the coffee shop tonight. Of course not! Instead we have ten families come in around 5:00, spend fifteen minutes a pop ordering their crap, spending thirty bucks, and not tipping us anything. And on top of that they wonder why their stuff is taking so long to be made. "Where's my drink?" "What did you want?" "Large French Vanilla latte." "Did you tell anyone yet?" "You're the first." Idiot. FYI, don't order Starbucks drinks when you come into our stores. If you order a French Vanilla Italian frappe, I'll probably just tell you I have no idea what the hell it is. It's like going into Burger King and ordering a Chalupa. I was hoping the snow would turn people away, but we got rocked just as it started. Everyone wants a damn hot chocolate. Why did communal animals like apes have to evolve? Why couldn't some non-communal dinosaur have become the dominant species? Ah, well. I'm exhausted tonight, so I'll sleep well. And Adult Swim was highly entertaining.

eegads!! sounds like a bad night!! i have to agree that the general public are complete morons most of the time. and i came to this conclusion after working in the restaurant business. i can sympathize with you tho...a bad night in a restaurant is a really bad night.
can you post a sign that your employees work for tips?
i worked in a coffee shop in santa fe, nm. i kinda miss it. we had fun. it was just drinks, no food...so not as much hassle.
take care!
