The Sheer Horror

Exciting times. Looking forward to the first acts of CRISPR terrorism - they're going to be horrific. Not because it benefits me that this will happen... but because it seems inevitable,  and the utilitarian reaction seems to be... that one may as well make a joke of it. Otherwise what, one might work on trying to prevent it, I suppose. How ah?

So Emo

Series A funded startup comes by our cafe. Sales person provides a list of criteria for participation in their service. Criteria include the public advertisement of hours during which cafe prices will be slashed, the specific hours, and the specific margins to be reduced. Staff respond with "we'll have to discuss this internally."

Now get this, it is gold. The sales person says:

"OK. Can I sit here for a while longer? I am feeling emo."

And my advice to staff was:

"Now go get a cup, put two tissues in it, and place it on the table in front of the guest. We must always be hospitable."
