@hayles The properties are all a bit odd around there, in terms of ownership, permissions and quality, from what I hear…
@hayles There was someone thinking of opening one down that way, but it fell through.
@hayles Oh, yes, wasn’t suggesting you should switch, just feeling sorry for the barista who can’t say what they’re probably thinking :)
Oh, *do* stop whining. No, not *you*. Someone in this cafe.
@hayles This is truly one of the reasons I prefer weird indie coffee shops: the staff have more leeway to be sarcastic at dumb customers.
