I don't understand why coffee shops have to be so stupid sometimes.
I went to one with almost perfect coffee and environment but the wifi cost 6 bucks to use. Another one had perfect coffee with broken internet. Another one closed at 1 pm (what?!). Another one was a "Christian coffee shop" that was so outrageously cheesy I couldn't even stay- and their coffee tastes like popcorn...and they have middle school art on the walls...and they blared cheesy Christian pop (this is part of my next controversial topic). Starbucks is $30 a month to use their internet, but good coffee. Panera has terrible espresso but free wifi.
Holy cow, I mean most people don't spend the ridiculous amounts of time as I do in coffee shops cause most people have normal full time jobs and more important things to do -but seriously, all I ask for is: Good coffee. Free wifi. Not a stupid environment.
I dunno where my life is taking me but if I ever do start my coffee shop type place I've always wanted, these are 3 very simple rules that I will not budge on, it's not that hard! So here I am drinking Starbucks espresso in Panera after driving around for too long looking for a place to work...and I'm still annoyed!
Oh and by the way, one more thing... I stopped at my music store to mess around on electric guitars. I had to stop myself from laughing at this guy who I will call "The Ultimate Redneck". Check it out- Probably 5 ft. tall, HUGE potbelly, confederate flag hat, confederate flag t-shirt, jeans tight under his floppy belly, muddy boots, looong nasty greasy hair down his back, huge thick plastic glasses, a 5 o'clock shadow and just about black teeth. I was putting my guitar down and he said to me, "Bought myself this here guitar the otha' day!", pointing to a confederate flag acoustic guitar! HAHAHA oh my gosh, you guys, I totally wish someone else could have seen it to believe me. Sorry if that description sounds mean, but it's accurate! He followed me around the store till I left--crrrrrreepy.
