Kenny’s Coffee in RR closing on 10/28

Well, it seems the landlord is a bigger jerk than anticipated. Instead of my shop being closed on Halloween, its final day will be this Friday so that Kenny, Scott and the rest of the gang can move the equipment out before Halloween.

What will become of me, my morning co-workers and my regular customers? Well, I think I will be sleeping in after I’ve fed the cats. Mike is the only co-worker I have left. Alex is moving to California at the end of the month. Marie will be pursuing other interests. My regular customers will be transplanting themselves to the larger WB (Wells Branch Parkway) Store which serves an awesome breakfast menu. I will be joining most of them. Others who say the commute is too far, I have referred to the Cafe Java in RR because the people who own that place are our allies in the Coffee Wars (basically, the little shops v. Starbucks).

I think I will be a regular Sunday fixture of the WB store in a while because attrition has been a constant with Kenny’s. What can you do, sometimes teenagers and college students find out that working at a coffee shop isn’t as easy as it looks on Friends, Cheers or Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
