They will get chewed up and spit out so fast, they venti-even know it. People are between jobs, angry, broke and still taking it both barrels from the establishment. Shut up, and sell your sweetened milk for less. Shush! <strong>Freddy's Comment: So let me get this straight: because someone is between jobs, angry and broke, that gives them the right to hang out in a place of business and not spend any money? Nice planet you live on.</strong> LOL !! for a chain that’s built it’s base on yuppi-dom and the offers of vanity @ $4/cup – I would LOVE to see them try to take away chairs or tell their few remaining customers to, um, “drunk up”.

Truth or Urban Legend? No idea but it's an interesting approach all the same!
