I've pondered Bernies situation wrt Starbucks, and decided they may as well open alongside all the other coffee outlets here. I don't care, and neither should he. I sell on quality and keeping my customers. I've only lost a few over the years, and Bernie should do the same, imho. There's a new large coffee shop/cafe opening soon. At least 85 covers. I know they will install a superauto that serves average coffee (or rather, hot milk drinks), and will flash *cleaning required* or *call engineer*, as another local cafe's machine has for at least two months. My customers can see me clean my machine.

And I still haven't worked out why I'd want to PID my machines.



Hey, Danny, thanks for the great post. Whew!! We really needed this one. I'm not too
concerned with *bucks moving in. I'm sidestepping a little and offering lots of things they don't and can't. Fresh roasted coffee. Excellent baristas. Fresh gelato. Freshly squeezed OJ. Free internet. And on and on. I'm not kidding myself, but I'm not losing any sleep. I'm headed to San Francisco for a three-day gelato seminar. Hope it helps.
I'm hoping you aren't too bummed out by the speedbumps the authorities have thrown up. You have what it takes and what your community needs. Hang in there and be well.
Bernie
