Word just came down from the corporate pipeline that starting june 1st, all slutty mermaid coffee shops in the US and Canada will no longer allow smoking in the outdoor seating area or within 25 feet of any entrance.
I'd say about half of our regulars are heavy smokers as well as a third of our baristas. And then there's all the travelers getting off the interstate stopping to stretch their legs and smoke while their non-smoking companions come inside to order.
Our guidelines are to ask people nicely to stop, direct them to the corporate complaint line if they're upset, and call the cops when they start throwing a fit.
Can't wait
