I tip at the neighborhood cafe here in Evanston because they're nice and do political and cultural stuff and once the owner's husband came and fixed our network domain stuff and refused to accept payment.
eta: Oh, and did I tell y'all about the feral kittens they're trying to save?
That story
rocks.
How hideous that it happened in the first place, though. Argh.
Phew! I didn't want it to be just me and nasty-rude-lady.
Of course, on my current budget, I don't really get coffee outside anymore. I guess if I went regularly to a local place, I might tip more.
The Starbuck's card was good for not feeling guilty about not tipping since you're not paying with cash.
I tip for coffee where I work, but the young woman who does the coffee here is exceptional. A) she remembers everyone, what they eat for breakfast and their preferred drink. B) she keeps our free coffee punchcards in her drawer and lets us know when we have a free coffee C) When I asked for ice cubes in my latte to cool it down, she said that she could actually make it warm instead of hot, and she does for me every time without having to ask.
I want Sophia's coffee place.
Is Monday over, yet?
This Monday has firmly decided on being a Monday of Monday's. Why could it not have been a Monday that behaved like a Thursday or a Friday?
One more class to teach, rehearsal and then I get to go home. Only 4-5 more hours.
Do Coke slushie's have calories on Monday's? I could use one before rehearsal.
Is there ever a Monday that feels like a Friday? No points for a Monday that comes in a week where you get to take the rest of the week off.
I just want a coffee place. Stupid town doesn't have one. Starbucks hasn't even discovered this wasteland, yet.
what should I have for lunch?
pizza, baked potato, soup, something else?
I am having turkey chili and a salad for dinner.
No points for a Monday that comes in a week where you get to take the rest of the week off.
Oops! I'm only at work today and tomorrow and then am off to a conference for the rest of the week. Doesn't that count a little as work?
