newsflash!

the new owner of my fave coffee shop is an asshole!

i was online working on my last post, and the guy unplugged my laptop. said i was using all the power in the place. HEL-LO dickwad, there is no way i was using "all the power in the place!" and if he wanted an outlet that badly, he could have chosen ANY other outlet in the place! when i had plugged in, the only outlet available was by extension cord, outside, on the patio, freezing my happy little ass off and making it virtually impossible to type. when he told me to relinquish the control of said cord, there were plenty of other outlets available. (if i had seen this earlier, you can bet i would have had my sweet bippy back inside and plopped down right next to the heating duct!) anyhoo, he could have just as easily used an inside plug. SO, anyways, he told me that i was being rude and inconsiderate by taking a plug for my use. (ooo, a whole plug!) well, dipshit, if i had a choice, that wouldn't be a problem. he told me that i should get a new battery for my computer... umm, excuse me, but if he'll pay for it, i would be happy to have a new battery... they dont grow on trees, ya know. theyre fricken expensive, too! so after this little exchange, he unplugged me! which meant that i had nothing, and my computer went thbbbbbt, kaput. lovely, eh? well, at this time, i didn't know who i was talking to just thought he was the local idiot looking for a new home. so i told my friend (the barista at the time) and he said, "oh, i see youve met (insert generic name here), the new owner." great, so my favorite hangout place is being invaded by a little man that has issues about customers using equipment that the previous owner set up for the benefit of us. ten bucks says that he will no longer offer free wireless web to us either... the interesting thing i want to know is this: if he's treating paying customers (mind you, a customer that has been frequenting this business for almost 8 years) like this, how the hell is he supposed to stay in business?? interesting... i love assholes!

okie dokie... time for class.
