Transcript:
Rat: I think I'm gonna open up my own coffee shop. It'll have a zero tolerance policy for employees who are rude to customers. Goat: Really? Rat: Yeah. If they're rude, I'd tolerate zero being done about it. Goat: That's not what that means. Rat: Heck, I'd give bonuses.

Reminds me of that restaurant in Chicago that is intentionally rude to the customers. People flock there to get a show every night.

@TheTrusedMechanicThat was great. When I was in the land surveying business, I would always get the question, how much to you charge for a survey. I always said, “About as much as it costs to fix your car.”

Sounds like ’Questionable Content" to me, the Coffee House of Doom. Great webcomic.

There’s one of those rude resturants in San Antonio too, but at least the view’s nice (it’s on the Riverwalk.) You can get away with rude in 2 situations: 1. big town where it’s your shtick, how you stand out for the rest, 2. small town where you are the only option (won’t work in most cases since if you get nasty enough some one will open up a competitor and meanwhile most will do without.)

Exactly what Rat did whaen he worked in a coffee shop to begin with. Course being an anthromorphic rat they couldn’t fire him because he’s a minority without first hiring other’s of his minority in his place. Which worked out for the lazy, shiftless, jerk until he decided to go into cloning and unwittingly cloned his own replacements.
