It's unfortunate that your proposal didn't turn out as well as you had hoped, but you are lucky to have found that special someone in your life :)<br />I don't usually expect any sort of customer service when I go to a coffee shop, just a nice ambiance to hang out and chat with friends. But I have definitely noticed the staff there are not the most cheerful. I would think that most people would be happy to accommodate such a happy occasion, but apparently not...Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247888249215415971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738609080790241180.post-61304895398456426892014-04-19T13:08:28.711-06:002014-04-19T13:08:28.711-06:00This is the coffee shop that I first met my fiance...This is the coffee shop that I first met my fiance'. Everything was fine that first time, and we went back a couple times and things were OK. I decided to propose to my lady there, as it is a special spot to us. The staff was not only unhelpful- they were almost spiteful! Proposing is a pretty rattling thing as is, and so much worse when people are in the opposite corner. First off, I could tell she wasn't happy that I was decorating the front area with flowers- even though the shop was nearly empty. I was planning on singing to my (then) girlfriend, so I also requested to have the music turned off right before she arrived. They not only left the music on, but they even turned it up halfway through my proposal! I found this incredibly rude, and it definitely (in my mind) tainted my proposal- something that was unbelievably important to me. What I don't get is that they not only got all of the business I brought in, but free advertising as well! I'm super disappointed in them, and even though the spot is special to us, I don't think we'll ever go back- to any second cup for that matter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208407858397354315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738609080790241180.post-65320781453790582922013-04-23T18:40:48.544-06:002013-04-23T18:40:48.544-06:00Yes I think that's a problem for all coffee ch...Yes I think that's a problem for all coffee chains. They expect customers to sit there for an hour or two slowly enjoying their drink, perhaps with a dessert. Adding a drive-thru is just following the trend. But if you go into the store a couple times, you'll know what type of desserts they usually have, or you could always try asking the machine :PStephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247888249215415971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738609080790241180.post-60245692143598101172013-04-23T14:44:16.066-06:002013-04-23T14:44:16.066-06:00The problem with second cup, at least the one I go...The problem with second cup, at least the one I go to is they don't advertise their desserts on the drive through menu. Most times I would like something sweet but I don't know what my choices are.
