Diesel Closed this week?
Anyone know what the renovations are that are closing Diesel this week?
A friend told me they are putting boths in the front section where tables and chairs are now.

i confess i usually go there before 9am, and things smell fine, so i guess they clean up overnights.

My beef with Diesel
Also, I kind of think the charity is bogus in my opinion. I bet the money went to the renovations.

Unless I missed it, the question of when they are closed was never answered, so:
closing early Wednesday (4pm)
closed all day Thursday
above person w/meetup should definitely postpone if you haven't already.

The vibe from the staff is much more put-on, I think, with quite a bit of a "We can't -help- you yet...we're too busy being alt-cool" flavor to it. I don't need a best friend in my barista. The arrangement that I feel comfortable with is a 20 second interaction where I am polite and prompt, and they don't make me feel like shit for not meeting some arbitrary Gen-Y street cred quota.
Money and mouths, though - I've just moved to Grand Prix for my coffeehouse wants.

I didn't like constantly receiving little sneers as the cashier ascertained that my outfit is just not cool enough when I just want to order a $4 (!) drink. I didn't like the snotty staff member who crashed into my table while engrossed in composing a text message, spilling my hot coffee all over my sandwich and myself, and then threw a roll of paper towels and instructed me to clean up. (For the record, I mopped off my self as best I could and left.) The last time I inquired as to whether or not a certain sandwich contained soy, as I am allergic, I was told that they didn't know and couldn't be bothered to check, and that I was responsible for my own "illness."
Please. Dunk's is cheaper, faster, quieter, and they take debit cards. Diesel lost my business for good, and I tip well and consume more espresso than anyone I know. It's a coffeehouse, not a fashion show.
(Wow, it sure felt good to get that off my chest, regardless of the Diesel-cultist fire storm that it's guaranteed to set off. Sorry, mods!)
