Last night I made plans to have coffee with a friend at a local coffee shop/Internet café. What I didn't realize was their business had slowed down and they were completing some remodeling, so they started closing in the late afternoon.
When I arrived, they were inside working on a few things and said they were closed but for me to come on in. I explained the situation about making plans to meet someone, they said no problem.
My friend came and we had our drinks and spoke for a half hour or so. When it was time to pay the bill, they would not take any money. Do you think you could get that service from Starbucks or a big-box chain?
Sure, sometimes small businesses may not be able to offer the best prices when competing with the big box chains. I certainly believe they provide better quality products. Thats why I prefer to spend my money locally, where I get the absolute best service.... Thanks Aces Cyber Cafe !

How wonderful!
You don't find too many places like this around anymore so when one is located, you want to cherish it forever.
Hopefully they'll never find themselves having to close doors for good.
That's why I love the small town my parents live in! You get that kind of service and it's so refreshing! Glad you enjoyed your fee cup of coffee!
I refuse to go into a Starbucks, I hate that international corporates are taking over everything including the local cofee house.
