Hey all just need to vent a bit,
My cousin, my brother and myself opened a coffee house/bistro in clinton IA about a month ago and wow we are doing well, great food, awesome coffee drinks but this week a large sandwich chain opened not to far from us and we felt it this week and now a starbucks is getting ready to open in town...
I put a lot of time, pride and love in to my food!!!! and our coffee is out of this world we use a 35 year old piston machine we make authentic espresso but I know when starbucks opens we are going to feel it and I just don’t understand people sometimes... The building we rent was not big enuff for a kitchen so I sent up on the front line and people love it they see what is going in there food they get to talk to me while im doing it and I think all in all I make it a fun experience for them. here in clinton to see some one in a chefs coat is a rareity(is that a word??)so they love to ask were I’ve cooked what my speciality is and what do I think of Emmeril(mmmm I wont go in to that lol) So after all we give them they are still going to get a crappy sandwich a horrible cup of coffee made for them by some little jerk with an attitude cuz he has to work late on a Friday night....grrrrrrrr
Part of me is afraid because these places have a tendency to put us little guys out in the cold and I hate it...I hate cooperate food made by a cooperate employee were one of those **** cooperate polo’s and that stupid fake cooperate happy attitude!!!!!!
If I’ve offended any one im sorry that was not my intention some of these people put a lot of pride into what they do and there just stuck in the cooperate machine...
Hey can anyone tell I used Word to write this LMFAO
