IMO, you owe Codejob a very sincere apology. Not only were your assumptions inaccurate, your response was very unkind and not warranted under any circumstance.

True. But they are big kids.

They will work this out.

Most of us have been dealing with A's in various states (or none) of recovery for a while. CodeJob, too.

Now back to Coffee.

So I get to the newcomer meeting last night. It was cold windy night, so only about half the folks as usual.

There were just regulars, no newcomers, and we chatted around the room what the topic should be. And I suggested Coffee. Turns most of the crowd (mostly sort of uptight women) HATE the AA Coffee. I just had to sit back and smile while I sipped mine, and listen to the unintended metaphor about what they disliked about the AA Coffee / (their A.)

Racetrac this morning.

I tried the Chocolate Mint stuff today. Sorry but cannot recommend that.

So I am saying hi to my Racetrac Coffee Princess. Free again. BUT it is her last day tomorrow. Monday she starts in a Prep Course and then into Medical School for . . . Medical Scanning and Imaging. I cannot help but smile. I see Angels everywhere.

I am sorry, but a saying comes to mind from my AlAnon group: "We don't have to show up at every fight we're invited to."
Personally, I would just switch venues. If someone think's that is "avoidance", that is just too bad. I have enough to deal with in my life without a hyper store manager.

I would just go to a different coffee shop. Crap service means you lose my business/money. Natural consequences. I think anything beyond this is over analyzing.

Do you go back to a restaurant where you find a bandaid in your soup? How is that different from this?

Last Free Coffee yesterday.

But Pumpkin Spice is back on the line up and my Racetrac Coffee Princess is off to Medical School. We all said our goodbyes.

EVERYTHING is right where it should be, right now.

Thank You, God.
