		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know about you, but I am so sick of the mentality of the news in general. I know that bad news sells, but where does entertainment stop and accurate news start? I don&#8217;t know that we&#8217;ll ever get it.

The 4th of July has come and gone, but the fireworks in the store go on.I just couldn&#8217;t resist the urge to finish the three-part thread about dealing with employee interactions.  No one more surprised than I am about the result, either! 
In the weeks that have passed since &#8220;Luke&#8221; and I chatted about perceptions (see [...]]]></description>

In our store we have a couple of televisions. They are strategically placed for customers when they are waiting for a drink at the bar.

When my wife and I and our best friends traveled to Ireland a few years ago I drove the rental car the entire time. I enjoyed being behind the wheel, learning to let people whiz by on my right side and drive roads as narrow as a bike path. But, my least favorite statement was&#8230;&#8220;Everyone [...]]]></description>

Yes, the baristi have been playing&#8230;again.
We have a new espresso blend the guys are wild about.  Wonderful crema, full but balanced flavor, smooth as &#8220;buttah&#8221;, to use the euphemism.  It was only a short hop from there to playing with the grind a bit &#8220;just to see what would happen&#8221; if they lengthened the timing [...]]]></description>

I just got back from the SCAA&#8217;s annual trade show. It was in Minneapolis from May 2-5 and brought in over 7000 people.
