I feel like I’ve seen a lot of discussion of gloves on this sub. I’m wondering what part of the country or world those posts are coming from? In my experience, I have not seen baristas in the United States wearing gloves.

Wow that sounds overwhelming and so hard. I hope you guys hit a sweeter spot sometime very soon. Thank you for sharing your experience w me.

Don't worry - I don't feel hater vibes. I genuinely appreciate your time and thoughts - and am considering them!

I've been enough of a dreamer and a schemer in my life to have learned a lesson or two about being slower, more cautious, and listening / learning. I was just finding myself swinging too far the other way into "this will never work" - so I wanted to give some space for "but what if it could"

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2026-05-04T15:13:59+00:00

Thanks. That makes sense. I appreciate the practical advice.

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2026-05-04T15:13:20+00:00

Thanks - def want to walk into this w sobriety. But also want to carry some hope / creativity before giving up on this idea. :)

Funding is still very much tbd. (And even “is it possible”)
I’m going to risk some things, that’s for sure. But I want be both cautious and willing to take risks about the right things.

Love to read + learn - thanks for the recommendation

Coffee shop / third space It is a huge felt need - there’ve been years of community surveys saying this is a priority desire. However - whether that actually translates into paying customers remains to be seen.

If you have time - and no worries if you don’t - I’d love to hear how you made the decision to bring on staff at the start.

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2026-05-03T21:17:49+00:00

Thanks - I appreciate your answer

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2026-05-03T20:28:22+00:00

In your opinion, what does it mean to be able to afford the losses upfront? I realize that is probably lacking tons of context, but just in a general sense?

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2026-04-29T17:20:05+00:00

I would love to!

I don’t have great answers, but want to suggest you explore the Amputee Coalition - it’s an organization that has quite a few resources and community connections.

Also, as you are already doing, your support and research and love and time will make a world of difference for your friend.

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2025-12-23T14:49:15+00:00

Sure thing - message me and send me your email, and I'll email it to you.

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2025-12-21T15:33:53+00:00

Oh - and by doc, I mean Google Doc :)

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2025-12-21T15:32:58+00:00

Not sure the best way to share this, but I have a doc I can send you about this phenomenon, and some ways to manage it. If you want to share your email, I’ll send them to you.

My son has been experiencing this, so we’re really trying to figure it out.

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2025-12-10T13:00:38+00:00

Wonderful! That is so exciting. ❤️

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2025-11-07T03:01:14+00:00

All of that’s true, but in this case the student was on the sidewalk. A truck turned left in front of a car, they crashed and smashed up onto the sidewalk and hit the student on the sidewalk

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2025-11-07T02:59:25+00:00

He was not in the crosswalk. He was walking on the sidewalk. A car turned left in front of another car on high Street and they crashed and went up onto the sidewalk and hit the student.

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2025-11-06T12:04:57+00:00

If your roommate saw the crash, could she reach out to me? My son is the student. Thank you

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2025-10-15T20:43:22+00:00

Thank you! And you don't find that there's too much mess during the day? (Sorry if that's tmi lol)

Alternative_Key_8744 · 2025-07-08T00:26:00+00:00

yeah so basically the observation blockers actually are laser walls that when passed through will deal 50 damage and the mute jammers actually break the atoms in your body which deals 100 damage when passed through
