Each of the last three shifts, I've had "customers" who order nothing but coffee and then sit forever. I don't understand. Tonight it was the gender indiscriminate coverall lady again, with her daughter and grandson. Last time they came in they ordered food; this time, just coffee and a soda. And they sat, stiffly, not really talking. The kid played some video game, the adults (who look like carbon copies of each other) sat. It was very odd.I continue to be mystified as to why people would meet at a busy restaurant during the rush, and pay $2/cup for substandard coffee. Go to Starbucks. Go to Dazbog, it's right across the parking lot. Go to a park, or your own goddamn house. Go to a place that's designed for hanging out. This ain't it.

Your January is not looking like it is off to a great start with these coffee drinkers.
Geez, I've never ad somebody come in just for coffee. Maybe because the environment at my work is so loud that it's not very relaxing or inviting to just drink coffee at?
that is so strange.. I know my managers would ask them to sit at the counter or leave if they did that.
I think that not too long ago you were asking for the server's equivalent of going postal. Well, here you go: http://www.wsbtv.com/news/19447180/detail.html

ugh I so agree. Effing annoying! Get off my table and stop loitering!

It never makes sense to me. I mentioned your blog to friends at work! ;)
Waiter E, you're right about that. I didn't have any tonight, though, maybe the trend is broken!
AZ, maybe I'll try cranking up the music next time and see if that drives 'em out. :)
I wish my managers would grow balls like that, JumpIt. They're scared to even look at a customer wrong.
Little Fat, that's CRAZY! Teach that bitch to throw things at a server! I was just thinking a term for it though ... clocking off or something? :)
Hi Sauce! I'll add you now, I'm sorry I missed yours when I re-built my blogroll.
Ohio, thanks for spreading my fame. ;)
Go to Starbucks for non-substandard coffee ? Starbucks is a marketing phenomenon, the coffee they serve is shit, I wouldn't even call if coffee. Try Illy / Lavazza / ... instead...
