Ok some may not believe this, but I'm actually a very easy going, easy to get along with person, I like to listen to others so I can learn about them and determine how best to communicate with them. However, I have a couple of customers that are so damn talkative that I want to tell them to Shut the **** up. But I can't. :( I'm not that mean. This guy has been here for 3 hours and hasn't shut up. You know the kind like Skeeter, needs to be talking just so he knows that someone is listening, even if it is himself. This dude drones on and on in a Gbajiesque manner with a know-it-all summary of everything and anything. Tonight I'm sitting here at the shop and he his at his laptop and he'll be quiet for about three or four minutes and then he just pops up with a subject, it can be anything from watch making to bag pipe playing... Dude LIKE I CARE! I mean he's a steady customer, but an annoying customer, like Smasharoo is a poster here. He buys stuff, so I don't say anything but Goodness Sake, I can't wait till Mary gets back so he can annoy her again.
Just had to rant. Some people just have to keep on talking and talking and ....

How many more posters can you work in insults for? Just three?
Those weren't insults, they are just friendly little sarcastic jabs... honest.

You should start singing. Now. Loudly. Try some Elton John.
Whenever I have consulting clients like that, I pull the old "Blackberry on vibrate important follow up phone call trick" Which consists of pulling out said pointless peice of geekware I carry to impress people and looking at in a suprised manner and saying "I'm terribly sorry, hold that thought it's importnat to me to understand your views on this, but I have to make an urgent call just now"
Then I fire up some BC hydroponic and return Zen like and contemplative. "He really understands how to meet our needs!"
One weeks rate up front guys.

Elton who? You mean like Rocky Mountain High, oh wait that was John Denver, Oh mean that chic in Grease, nope that was Olivia Newton John. Damn can't rember an Elton John song off the top of my head. Wait didn't he sing something like Dirty Little Girl?
Bah, he's packing up to leave and talking about devloping photographs in a dark room.... Yawn. At least a cute young lady has walked in to keep me distracted ;)

Oddly enough I'm very quiet in person, and when I do speak most of the time it's just some random mumbling.

Kentucky? Kansas? Kmichigan?
Give me a break, I wasn't raised here.

I know they taught basic geography at public schools in Massachusettes, unless you really aren't from there. But for the benefit of the Princess it is Kansas.

The U.S. was just a purple blob on my map. All I had to learn was its capital.

No, that is another one with same name different owner who registered his name in Missouri and I registered my name in Kansas. It will be a ***** to branch out of Kansas unless I change my name, plus I heard someone in Colorado has named his coffee shop the same as mine.

If I start getting Love letters or fan mail from any of you I'll know where it originated from. But stop in anytime and mention Allakhazam and the coffee is on me.

Didn't cost me a thing. We also just received notification from a national magazine that we are the "Best Coffee Shop" in the Midwest. - I'm just waiting for them to send out there marketing people though to get me to buy advertising with them.
/edit: for privacy reasons I edited the previous post with the address and telephone number of my business. Not that I do not trust some on this board, but there are a few that I wouldn't trust if they where locked up in segregation at Leavenworth.
If you would like more information about the store, please send an e-mail and I'll let you know, if you are one that is truly interested. Nothing personal, just have to ensure my best interests are safe guarded.
Thanks, and don't take it personal.

Hey PR is PR. My wife worked for Forrester for a while and her clients won hundreds of awards. Mostly from orginizations she founded for them for a small fee, but still.

Not yet. Projections where not until 18 months. When you start seeing me posts with links like this: The Car
Then you will know we are there :)
As off right now we are 2 months off projection by 16% and we are entering our slow months but still growing at a decent rate.

I think of coffee by the cup as a pretty high margin buisness model. What's the burn rate come from, startup costs, overhead?
Just idly curious.

Mine comes from start-up and overhead. Rent is the biggest expense, then employee wages and COGS. We kept start-up costs to a minimum with a very conservative guestimation on how long it would take to get to a sustainable daily repeat customer rate. we are at a 33% daily (5 days) return rate for regular customers, where as our 2-3 times a week customers is more in line at 61% of our customers and the remainder are once a week or new customers. We are wanting to increase the daily rate another 12% in the next 3 months with an actual sustainable goal of 65% daily over the next (now) 10 months.
Slip him decaf instead. Maybe that will keep his motor rate down.
Anyway my boss is like that. He gets in these moods where he decides to take a break and comes to my area (most people) sits down, puts feet up and launches into whatever.
The only time I like it is when he decides to give the State of the state of the business. Its nice to hear whats in the works and weather or not we have money coming in to keep us going.
P.S. My boss doesn't even drink coffee. I don't know where he gets all that energy from to drone on and on. I hardly see him drink water. Me, my tongue starts to dry up if I talk more than 5 minutes. Must be genetic.

Spring for the M5 if you have a family or are planning to. I would have if I had kids. Alternately, go for the M3. You have winter in Kansas.
