Coffee snob?

Sn-offee
or
cob?....

so, for those of you who don’t know: I’m working part-time at a local coffee and tea cafĂ©. It’s a nice place. We have really good coffee and like 100 different kinds of tea. We have a lot of faithful costumers that are really nice. And now we two locations. – I kind of sound like a commercial… anyhoo, today a guy and his daughter came in and his daughter had Dunkin’ Donuts. DUNKIN’ freakin’ DONUTS! Now, I think I have the right to be offended that they brought stuff from another coffee place into ‘my’ coffee place. But my first thought was, “how could they drink Dunkin’?” What?? Should I care that they bought Dunkin’ instead of coffee from us? People have different taste buds. Maybe they saw Dunkin’ first. Sometimes it’s easier to go to someplace familiar. Yeah, maybe they were from out-of-town. Maybe they have a tight budget (gas is like $4.40 a gallon). Our coffee is a little pricer than Dunkin’ but that’s because it’s really good coffee (and GREAT service). – there I go again… anyhoo, who am I to judge?

But just don’t bring other coffee into ‘my’ coffee place… it’s weird.
