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.

This was one of the reasons that I stopped going to Diesel, as well...and I'm 22, so age has nothing to do with it.

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!)
