You've made my day!<BR/><BR/>CHRIS: I doubt the owner will ban them. Her business is, for reasons beyond that particular segment of her clientele, not that great. Also, as Jen pointed out, I think the intimidation factor probably would be an issue. There's a reason why I made my comments as I was walking out and not mid-way through my meal. It was a lot easier for me to step up, knowing it's not a place I often eat, even though it's right next door to my work.<BR/><BR/>JEN: Thanks! And how awesome would it have been if the words "Shut your piehole!" had actually come out of my mouth in the cafe? I would never do it, but it's fun to imagine. Still, sometimes I surprise myself. As you know, I totally am born to be mild. Okay, now I'm having a flashback to being in a car with you and MQ 10+ years ago on the corner of 82nd and Division as you were driving me home, singing "Born to be Mild" with the radio, which makes this whole discussion worthwhile. Weird, the things a person remembers.Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919215971601240222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037641.post-30106743157836646622007-04-17T16:02:00.000-07:002007-04-17T16:02:00.000-07:00I just love reading your blog.

(or so it goes in my mind.)<BR/><BR/>Chris, I think you've got an idea that sounds great in theory, but is not so practical. Especially if they are physically indimidating in any way -- which, as one woman vs. 3 male customers I would say is already established. Yes, Martina was AWESOME and told them to shut their pie-holes, but she's a customer on her way out the door, not the woman who will be there every single day. She could say "get out and don't come back" (and maybe she has) but what happens if they come back anyway? Are the police going to arrest them for dropping the f-bomb and being assholes? I doubt it. In the meantime they could make things even more unpleasant for her. <BR/><BR/>I know it sounds like I'm advocating doing nothing (I'm not), I'm just trying to point out that it's not as cut and dried as posting an audio clip on a website "for the world to judge."Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998413591822017096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037641.post-45380006363804309622007-04-12T01:37:00.000-07:002007-04-12T01:37:00.000-07:00The café owner should ban these people.

They are costing her money and she should get rid of them.<BR/><BR/>Before doing so, I would make an audio recording of them. Not only would this provide evidence if any legal action were subsequently taken, but it could also be posted on a web site for the world to judge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
