How do you handle rude folks in a coffee shop who won’t take their phone

I'm not a coffee guy, but my kids and I used to love Starbucks hot chocolate.
Hot Chocolate? I think the most you can get away here in this thread is admitting to drinking a Latte but Hot Chocolate? Man you might have a few here hit that report button. :D:coffee::LOL:

Now where was I…oh yeah back to black coffee.

 
Up here, things are different. The "Tim Horton's" franchise has put nearly every mom-n-pop coffee shop out of business, some decades ago. Chinesium progress.

Then, right here on the Hide, about 15ish years ago, there was a big clammoring about how great Starbuck's was, in that they supported the 2nd Amendment. So much so, that there were many touted "I Love Gun's 'n Coffee 'n Titties" badges and patches around.

Seeing as we only have the choice of the two, on the odd occasion where we hit a drive-through for a coffee, the Starbucks is definitely the better of the two. It is only in the past few months, where we (this city) got our first "Krispy Creme" donut shop. I'll say this, in short-order. 3 day old Krispy Kreme donuts are STILL better than what they call 'fresh' Tim Horton's donuts. That's saying something.

And the coffee at Krispy Kreme is definitely better too. Than both Timmy-Ho's AND Starbucks. But I've only had it there once, because we make our own mega-shots of espresso here at the house each morning, and thanks to another member here (Dewey) he's gotten us onto roasting our own beans and such too. So yes, it IS best to simply do it yourself. Keeps the coins in our own pockets, and lets us decide further as to where to direct them.

But my, how things change. When they had their 2nd A. support thing going on, this here site was touting how awesomest'er they were. Wind changes direction quite a bit, in reality and on 'marketing' and such.

Interesting.
 
Most of you folks don't get it. In Wyoming, you go to a "coffee shop" to actually get coffee. Black coffee. It comes out of a pot, not some foo-foo machine, and no we don't need room for cream.

You probably have never had good coffee then.
I am guessing Maxwell house or Folgers is in your range.

Starbucks is garbage and they over roast the beans so they can use a wide variety of lower quality beans to make it taste the same.

I didn't used to like coffee until I spent a lot of time in Italy and now I am ruined.

I’ve been to Italy a half dozen times, and yep, they have great coffee. It’s not about good, it’s about priorities.

Ammo > coffee

Yes, on Tim’s killing local shops and then their coffee turned into garbage. I almost never sit to drink coffee. MCD’s drive through.

The “Stock Detective” is a nod to Tom Horn. Wyoming is beautiful country, love visiting years ago. Lots of good folks up there.


Tom Horn, trying to do right, and the people who he was helping, fk'd him in the end.
A familiar pattern.

"1890, Tom was in the employ of the Pinkerton Detective Agency and tasked with tracking and finding various suspected lawbreakers. He was quite proficient at this, however, he lost his job because, more often than not, his targets were dispatched on the spot instead of returned to the courts for justice."

This thread is bait. There are no old fucks hanging around coffee shops. They are too busy at home posting 15 year old memes on Twitter.

I have these taste buds that make me think all coffee sucks.

Actually. Most coffee is absolute shit water.
I have had some friends here on the Hide that introduced me to some actual good coffee.
You probably have a highly developed palate. The masses will generally eat dog shit and drink swamp water.

What in the world is a "Wyomingan"? It's Wyomingite. The Tom Horn story is interesting to say the least, but a ton of fake news and B.S. surround the entire deal. My grandparents on my father's side of the family had a place at Green Mountain not far from where Willie Nickell was killed. My great aunt had several letters from Tom Horn and some cool stuff that he braided for her when they were dating.

Well, looks like it’s Wyominger from now on
