Ball Square Breakfast War Leads to Fisticuffs

Looks like the feud continues and has heated up a bit:

I predict detail cops will soon be a daily sight in the square. The next city fundraising effort will focus on tickets for blocking the sidewalk.

I live next door to Yassir. The guy would take a bullet for a friend. The article was too hard on him.

SN has been squarely in the Ball Sq Cafe/Victor's camp since Day One.

I'm with you. I live next door to SoundBites. Yassir is a good neighbor.

When a neighbor's son was killed in an accident, Yasser provided (for free) all the food for the wake.

I find it funny that the 1st comment on the SN site complains that Yassir was critical for the customer buying coffee elsewhere and bringing it into Soundbites. That's pretty rude at almost any sitdown place that isn't in a food court. I think Yassir even has a sign asking people not to do that.

They bought it while they were waiting in line, though. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and thinking they assumed they'd be done with the coffee before they were seated.

I do too, he's always quite nice when I'm there.
