At a certain gas bar and a small famous coffee shop, ONE of the long time employees cannot make coffee for beans. The coffee either tastes burnt, is not stirred up enough or is luke-warm. That particular employee has been told about how she serves this coffee to her customers but nothing is ever done about it. I do not know why they keep her there. She does not have the best hostess personality for serving up coffee among other characteristics that cannot be named. I think that maybe she has been serving up coffee for too long. I think that it is time to hang up the towel for her sake and for the customers. —Coffee Blues

if you don’t like their fucking coffee, then make your own at home. are you that fucking stupid to even bother bitching about a no brainer, such as this. you must have some boring fucking life o.p.?
Let me guess, Young and Robie? Where there is a full-sized version of this “small famous coffee shop” literally next door? Sharing the same parking lot even. FFS.
Jesus H! There sure as hell is NO shortage of places to buy coffee in this city. If you are consistently getting a bad cup of joe at this one place, MOVE TO ANOTHER! Chances are, you won’t have to move very far. For the love of Pete! How idiotic do you have to be?
Or, like Blow Me said, make your own. It’s a pretty simple solution.
It is a GAS BAR! ’nuff said
calling foul! i think OP is a co-worker of the one she wants fired.
“can’t make coffee for beans” that’s pretty funny.
Send the coffee back if it isn’t ideal. I will not drink crappy coffee at the price it is. Or walk another three yards to the next coffee joint.
