(Thread 3/3) The rep looked pissed off. It was obvious he didn't understand why anyone wouldn't want to make more money and he'd just publicly and definitively been rejected in such a polite way he couldn't protest.

A young woman entered as the rep left. She was soft spoken and blushed as she spoke but the owner immediately greeted her by name and asked which type of chiffon cake she would like.

She opted for the purple yam one and after the owner had plated it, his wife hummed to herself as she piped cream on with a happy grin. Moments later, Dutch tourists walked in and the owner shared a 10 minute chat with them about V60 coffee making.

Later, some high school students dropped by, wanting a type of sushi that had run out. The owners offered to make some fresh for them. And the whole time the vibe was that their customers were in their house and they were enjoying being hosts.

And that's it. Two people who know what makes them happy, with their business based in a town that appreciates them. They both love what they do (I have learned SO many glorious coffee facts) and their food is freakin' amazing... And they told a giant corporation to politely never come back.

Any typos spotted in this monster thread have been caused by the consumption of the best katsu chicken I have ever tasted, made by someone who hummed softly to herself as she made it. If spotted, please inform typos that they can get their V60 coffee at the counter with the cake of their choice. (3/3)
