You're out there, no doubt, but there are some interesting thoughts in there. You do sound like a spam-bot, though.

i don't think you've upset anybody, so there's no need to be sorry... you just come across as... a bit weird... that's all.

I feel bad if coffee slingers goes under, I know the owners and they had some great dreams. I'm sure they will make a comeback. If you fall make sure you fall on your back so you can see how to get back up.

I think he does work there. If you do a google search for "Ian Halliday" (his handle backwards) and "coffee" you'll see some comments in response to a blog that he refers to Coffee Slingers and "we" as if he works there.

I felt Sherlock Holmes-y...

Just an observation.

[Luke]

By the way, I can tell you honestly that the latte I had there was the best latte I've had in my life.

Well, if you know the owners, perhaps you could tell them that if they would be a little bit more friendly to their customers, and act like they appreciated their business, then maybe they won't need to go out of business. No reason for them too, but when a business acts like they are doing me a favor by taking MY money for their product, that's an invitation for me to go elsewhere. They do have a good product, but their marketing is very poorly done. It would also be nice to get a cappuccino and latte that is more than lukewarm too. I really hope they make it, but if they don't learn a thing or two about customer satisfaction, then I'm afraid they aren't going to be around much longer.

What does that link have to do with Coffee Slingers surviving?

[Steve]

I'm at Coffee Slingers right now and the shop is as busy if not more so than any of the long established downtown coffee shops would be at this hour. I just saw her serve about a dozen people at once, quickly, and with a smile. I've seen no sign of anyone named Yadillah or of any bongs.

Steve,

You should flat out ask them about the rumors, after all your the reporter!

P.S. You know that I would do it if I was there.

[Steve]

She's a bit busy right now. But I've done some asking around earlier this week ... the info I'm getting is this board might be a little too harsh and rash in its judgment. I, of course, am shocked to hear such a thing.

Seriously though, I've seen plenty of businesses come and go. I knew early on that Brew HaHa wasn't going to make it. Coffee Slingers, from what I've seen, is doing far better and also has a patient landlord and a building that will soon be 100 percent leased.

[jbrown84]

Well good then.

Even if they are not for me, I hope they stay in business. They add a lot to A-Alley and certainly fill a niche that probably isn't met by anyone else in town.

Metro, I asked Melody about the rumors on this site. She's says they're not true, and further, she finds this board to be overly negative and thus avoids it.

[jbrown84]

That's like a hotel or restaurant saying they refuse to read TripAdvisor or similar sites because people post negative reviews.

I guess if you could care less about customer feedback, then stay away Melody.

Her loss. I know most people find this board very informative. I imagine she's just mad because of all the negative reviews of her place.

I couldn't say that the the negative reviews of her place is the reason she stays away. Overall this board has a very negative tone to it.

[metro]

negative or realistic? two different things. I say this board is more informative than any other news outlet in the metro. I'd also say it has more community pride and educated citizens on local issues than anywhere else I've seen.

I would be willing to bet it has a LOT to do with negative reviews of her business.

I agree. Been there three times, and while the coffee drinks were pretty good, they were always served barely above luke warm. When I mentioned to them I got a pretty chilly look from the guy who was serving me. I just never feel too welcome when I go there. I really wanted to like the place, I still do, and might go back once more just to see how it is. Hopefully, in spite of Melody's negative reaction to our comments, she'll think about it and do what a good business owner does when they really want to succeed--make the customer happy!

With over 2000 posters and guests you'll find all kinds of personalities here.

I've been on hundreds of boards.

This one isn't much different than any of them, except we're much more active than any of the local boards.

When you give people the power to write what they want with no accountability.. you'll get all kinds of responses.

Just like in the real world, posters establish an online reputation and depending on how they interact with others, they are either looked at in a positive light or a negative light.

People usually get what they give.

I will agree with you that it is informative. I have learned a lot about this town in the short time I have been here.

Hopefully, the tone will change after this election is over.
