If you watch American movies, you've probably seen this cafe, they use it's location all the time:

What's funny is that it's also right across the street of the Elementary school I went to, and I've been inside a couple of times but never to eat. After school, we would stop by to get a coke (soda; pop, whatever you call it) but they were absolute dick heads and wouldn't let us sit down. I mean, I get it; we were just a bunch of kids but I always thought it was pretty shitty.

The inside was dark and dingy, and since the people who worked there were such jerks, I stopped going and made it a point never to go as an adult. So there!

They've recently given the place a total face lift - albeit EXACTLY the same, just shiny and new - and one of my best friends wanted to meet for breakfast there, so I met up with him on Friday. The place looks amazing inside. The booths are bright orange, the decor is old school without being all lame and millenial-like and the food was really good. We ate and talked and drank coffee for a while and then (get this!) THEY KICKED US OUT!! AHAHAHHAHAAA!!

I couldn't believe it! They said there were people waiting for a table and so could we please leave. Maybe this is a thing that happens but I've NEVER had it happen to me before, hahahahaa!!

So suck it, Cindy's! You've freshened up your look but you're still just a bunch of jerks.

Sort:  

I would have asked for more coffee and sat there for another hour. Probably take a dump too before I left. What are they going to do, call the cops? You were a paying customer.

I was in the restaurant business for 21 years and I never even thought about asking a customer to leave because I had people waiting for tables. I might have wished some people would finally get moving, but I would never tell them to go. If people were lingering around after they ate I assumed they enjoyed their dining experience. Those are the type of customers who come back. They sure as hell aren't going to come back if I told them to get lost.

you know what? Now i'm actually pissed! I just might go and do exactly that. oooo Part II of Suck It, Cindy's!

They should rename the place...

Suck It, Cindy’s

omg that is a GREAT IDEA!! I'll tell them ASAP. Thanks David!
