Yeah. Sounds like grits to me !!!

Regarding the subject of this thread, I really have to wonder at the american way of doing business....

1. Set up a coffee shop
2. Make it "special" so that customers get the feeling they are special for being allowed to have their coffee here (as opposed to just making it cosy and friendly)
3. Since it does not seem to be "special" enough (aka : 3 customers a day on the best days), offer free wifi since that works everywhere else
4. ok, getting there.... 5 customers a day, but it could get better. Since there are only 5 tables in the shop, Houston, we have a problem
5. YESSSS ! There comes the grand idea.... Let's forbid anyone to use any electronic devices here, so people will get moving (maybe even not come back EVER, and ruin the joint reputation, but that is a problem we will tackle next month in MARKETING 101 )

You have to admire a nation where it will soon be easier to read in a plane than in a coffee shop......
