Half and Half Fan!

A few months back I stopped drinking Starbucks coffee because I found a place that served smooth, tasty and non-burned tasting coffee. Yes I feel that Starbucks serves burnt tasting coffee. That is just my opinion, I'm sure a lot will beg to differ. Anyway I will still go to Starbucks and order a mocha frap.

Anyway the place I switched to is called It's a Grind Coffee House. It's a franchise and I soon figured out that the owner of this place is one of the local residents in the community. I spent a lot of time in that coffee house writing papers, studying etc etc. They offer free internet, it's a cozy place, and their coffee is great. But I started noticing a lot of changes. And I was not liking it!

1) If you brought in your own coffee mug they would sell you coffee for .75 as opposed to the $1.60. I thought that was great, being that I had to budget wisely. And I'm sure everyone else did to. Before I knew it, the manager claimed that they weren't doing that anymore, and that it shouldn't of been started to begin with. Well, gees you get your customers used to it and then you are just going to do away with it just like that???? Obviously no communication with your employees. Did they come up with that on their own?? Anyway of course all this is going through my head, I'm not voicing it out loud. What for?

2) Then I noticed a sign that came up and it read, "No food from outside". Okay I can understand that. I never felt the need to do such thing.

3) I was studying for stats with Lupe one day and we decided not to order anything. We went about your studying and our concentration was suddenly interrupted by someone saying "are you guys ready to order?" Ummm excuse me? I said "no we are not going to order anything." She said well the rule now is that you have to order something if you are going to be here. THAT WAS NEVER THE CASE BEFORE!!! So I said, "okay sure I'll order something." So I go to he counter. She probably thought I was going to order a $4.99 fancy drink. Nope I said, I'll have ice water please. Jajajajajajaja! And she says, ".25 please." Grrrrrrrreat, now everyone is happy! :)

4) Recently I made a quick stop before I headed to work (waaaaahhhhhhhh when I USED to have a job :() LOL! And as I am getting my coffee I notice they have no half and half. No big deal, maybe they ran out. So I ask the barista and he says I'm sorry we don't have any. I said, "you don't have any at this time, or you just don't offer it to customers anymore?" And he replied by saying, "we don't offer it anymore." I said, "WHHHHHAAAAAT?" I thought, how are you not going to have half and half for your customers? That's like having cereal but no milk! Unless you like black coffee. At this point the owner heard and she came out and apologized for not having it. She explained that customers were taking advantage and helping themselves to too much half and half. So she was forced to just take it away. So we are grounded now, s*ittttttttttttttt! LOL!

WTF I couldn't believe it. What kind of s&*t is that????? I am a huge fan of half and half. I can't stand putting low-fat milk, whole milk, or creamer in my coffee. :( But the creamer is the closest thing to half and half. But it's still not the same! I still can't believe they are doing this. So now my visits there are winding down slowly but surely.
