I’m not suggesting we treat Black Coffee the same way we treat an Affogato or Mocha. However, I am making it clear that you cannot treat Affogatos or Mochas like Black Coffees. I find it disgusting that you’d attempt to twist this around into some sort of positive. Some sort of pitch for how you’d rather be doing things. It’s not that we aren’t aware of your preferred methods. We painfully are. You seem oblivious to how the Cafe should and should not operate. You are not the Cafe and Diner. If you want to go off and do your own thing, fine. Go. But if you’re going to stay, you need to get what we are doing through your head.
The Cafe and Diner keeps balance. Above all else, that is what the Cafe does. Killing outright is not keeping balance. It can, on occasion, be necessary. Death is a part of life—life is a part of death. But to pay someone’s tab in full—that is a group decision at the very least. We had that situation well under control. You have dealt with so, so much worse than that. Why are you acting like you’re suddenly new to this business? I can only assume you came there with the intention to do harm. To shape the Cafe to your mentality.
That is unacceptable. The Cafe isn’t you. The Cafe isn’t me. It isn’t us. It isn’t even the original Owner. It is more than that, and I want you to see that, to understand that… but I guess with only a 24th, you can’t see the bigger picture. Though there have been many before you who weren’t lucky enough to have a piece of a piece of the Eight… and they still understood what we were doing. What the Cafe was doing. I still need time to decide if I believe you can ever be trusted again.
That’s all.
Big Guy.
