“Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot” — C11

Dale might be impressed that Pierre remains at his desk all day, yet it soon becomes clear why this is the case. It’s true that he basically has no choice, yes. But it’s also true — and quite troubling — to learn that he has all but abandoned doing any…

Wild Oats Market

There are in a way so many hysterical tales about this wacky establishment that I’m too paralyzed to even find the starting point right now. To summarize the basic dynamic, though, the fate of this particular store and the company as a whole — which at its peak ran to…

Manhattan High Line Food Tour

During a work related trip to NYC, our conference ticket just happened to include — I’m not sure how or why — a paid excursion in the form of a “food tour” of Manhattan. Though my job only tangentially relates to the food industry, and not at all the restaurant…

Focus On: Charlotte, NC

Though it’s come a long way in the past decade or so, I still maintain that Charlotte, NC is the most boring city of its size that I have ever seen. Now, of course, any time you say something like this, a town’s defenders are going to launch an offensive…

“Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot” — B11

One cool aspect about his taking the AP position is that it makes him realize the potential benefits in bouncing people around in various roles. Not just for a person’s own experience, but how if someone has performed two specific functions with a company, they might be able to make…

“Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot” — A11

“Well,” Corey sniffles, with a dismissive upward head tilt, “you’re probably our best option at this point.” The thing about a dismissive attitude, though, is that it doesn’t actually affect anything. Reality keeps on rolling as it is regardless. And the aftermath of this announcement, that Edgar is taking over…

“Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot” — B10

One positive ramification from this dustup, though, is that even Vince Brancatto wordlessly, miraculously, begins emailing him every needed addition.

“Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot” — A10

Among the first of many head-scratchers about this meeting is that by virtue of being here, this means that the five of them are not at Arcadia right now. They are seated in the semi-dark, as nobody has bothered turning on the overhead lights, with only those streaming in from…

“Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot” — L9

Corey has always projected this weird dichotomy whereby, long before appointed to such, he tended to act like someone on the inside circle of every discussion, wielding untold power…until a problem surfaced which might require him to do something, in which case he would deflect. Throw up his hands and…
