Halloween




All Hallows Eve is upon us and the HypnoCrew is manning the vessel in uniform. Halloween marks the start of the Tucker County Doldrums in which we, the HypnoCrew, tend to the vessel, mend her sails, scrape the barnacles, and set a course for the winter. Currently on the compass is a milk switch. We are negotiating a switch to all organic milk, both whole and non-fat. As with all things "finer" it is tougher to negotiate in Davis, than in say...DC. So stay tuned. Would you pay more for your macchiato, cappuccino, or latte if we provided only organic milk? We have tried organic milk in our personal macchiatos and the difference is noticeable (creamer, sweeter, and the milk contrasts more against the creama of our espresso). Using organic milk compliments our high quality espresso, better serving you, and you know us, we are all about improving your relationship with our espresso.

Seems like you're trying to "milk" the whole organic thing... but I don't put milk in my coffee, unless of course there is milk in the chai. But is that chai organic? I vote yes, if only to support the organic milk farmers. What about the bovine growth hormone? What about the half/half?

I am well aware of organic as marketing buzz word, I am also aware of the inconsistant results in the regular milk I purchase. Half and half would remain the same as of now. I personally do not need the bovine growth hormone, as I am already hung like a horse. Oh, and yeah, chai tea latte has milk, however, Mack-Daddy Chai does not.

Maybe if you could get some organic equine growth hormone you might get some of your Thomas customers back without having to cut their electricity off?

I'm amazed it is even a question frankly. Maybe not organic in the free milk department (eg halfnhalf for the Sheetz-esque self service biz), but a premium coffee drink, well, should be a premium coffee drink. If it were merely a quality point I'd ponder this, but it is a health point as well as a quality point, so it is doubly a no-brainer.
Perhaps offer a discount for patrons who would prefer non-organic (with a signed waiver of course).
