robin: Is PHOB moving?
NJ open mics: Pratt's in EHT has always been the location for lots of music in EHT
Amissa: Hi all. If we fall, we don't need self-recrimination or blame or anger - we need a reawakening of our intention and a willingness to recommit, to be whole-hearted once again.I am from Barbados and also now am reading in English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: "Airline tickets for for the best discount airline tickets and cheap holiday packages cheap flights and discount airline tickets for travel on all."Thank you very much :).

Trenton: Could you help me. I never vote for anyone; I always vote against.I am from Benin and now teach English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "Get the airline tickets, cheap flights, cheap travel widget on widgetbox."8-) Thanks in advance. Trenton.
Jonathan: I do have one more thing that I would like to see at the shop. Power outlets that the customers can use. I'm here reading this fine blog , but my laptop power is low. The improvements that have been made so far are awesome. I really like that the couches have been moved, and the new pastries are good. Keep it up.
conny: I like the shop-it has a real city chic appeal. I think you could make a coffee corner lounge section for those who like to sit back and relax after commuting to work in Atlantic City. I am from the suburbs so I look for the industrial loft look to escape from the subhurbs. I really enjoyedthe bear claw pastry and cafe mocha !!! The staff who waited on me were very helpful and friendly. I hope to see some merchandise with your logo next time because my last name is Pratt, too.
Jonathan: I really like the shop, and I go there often. The only thing that I can say I would like to see is more comfort. the place is pretty industrial feeling right now. I would like to see a couple of comfortable chairs in the corner of the "quote" wall and the far wall with a side table in the corner and another couch or 2 somewhere in the middle of the floor. I do love "the wall" and I'm glad you have free Wi-Fi. Everyone is friendly and I have fun there.
Stacy: It sounds like you asked for two espressos thinking that you were asking for two cups of coffee. If you go to a coffee house, cafe, or espresso bar and ask for an espresso, what you will get is a shot-sized glass holding a small amount of very strong coffee. These are usually ordered to be consumed right there and they are served in very small cups. If your order was for two espresso's "to go", then what you received in each take out cup was a 1-1/2 ounce shot of espresso. If you ordered flavo
Jeffrey: I just got a cup of coffee to go, and when I got home to drink it, it was honestly the most expensive thing I have ever paid for, for one gulp and I am not even joking, there was honestly barly anything in my cup it wasn't even half full. Can someone please answer me and tell me if the person who made it didn't know what she was doing, or did I just spend 3 bucks are 2 little cups of coffee when I could have went to WAWA and got two 24oz coffees for the same PRICE! please someone comment on this

Salespeople

I really don't have anything against salespeople. Some of my closest friends are salespeople. I think they are an important part of the circle of life.

What I will say is that I like to do business with people who do business with me. I support those who support us. So, when someone comes in, tries to sell something and leaves without even buying a cup of coffee, it makes me less inclined to do business with them. Of course, I know someone can't buy something everywhere he or she goes, but it makes a difference to a small business owner--if one is just here to sell something, versus take a genuine interest in our business, take time to see the operation.

Cutting to the front on the line while I'm trying to make drinks--not cool. So, salespeople: order up, and order big!  And, don't expect me to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars with you, if you won't spend $1.00 with me.

You sound like a small business owner who likes to be "schmoozed" first and save the sales pitch for later.

I'm sure a lot of small business owners would agree when you said ... "Salespeople: order up, and order big!"

It's a shame most of the salespeople won't see your blog and get the message.
