Like most of my blog posts, this one comes with a caveat.  While I try to create a non-judgemental, safe space, at the shop, I’m getting a little jaded about two things.  1) people asking me to dispose of their single-use coffee cups.

Yes I cursed. So take this as a warning.  I’m likely going to get a little fired up...
