We are closed. We tried being open on Memorial Day but the it cost us more in utilities then we brought in. Our employees said there are just some holidays that are all about getting together with family and having cookouts... so we decided to be one of those families today.
We are open on most Holiday's, today included. Though closing early 2pm ('bout 50 minutes). Been decent day at the register so far, on par with most Saturday's. Memorial Day was decent too. Many of our regulars have come to expect and appreciate us to being open. Hell, was even open last Thanksgiving day morning and had decent business. Only Holiday didn't open was Christmas Day. At least, I don't think I was open any of Christmas day but might have been, memory failing me and Ben (barista on shift) can't remember for sure either!
Yeah, we had a short day today (7-12) and it was surely slower today than on other weekends. We had our regulars that stayed in town and they were stoked we were open. We had an impromptu cupping to keep ourselves busy, so all-in-all it was a pretty chill day. Happy Birthday America!
today.. in canada... was nuts.
ugh, closed the doors after 3 customers in 2 hours...
We were packed!!! Our store closes at 23:00; but, I didn't get home until 03:00. That time also included my lunch break, but most of that was spent cleaning and doing prep.

Being in a port town, and only a short walk from the harbour, it's not uncommon for visiting Americans to dock their boats and begin wandering around the village. We're only one block from the water's edge, so, we got slammed.

Everyone seemed to enjoy their stay, but, the best part was seeing their faces when we gave them back one and two dollar coins in change. For those who don't know: A Canadian two dollar coin is about the size of a Hummer tire.
I was not working myself, but my local cafe (that I will be working for soon) was packed on the 4th! It's in the PDX area, just out in Gresham. It was way crazier than usual.
