Aotearoa Weekly Kōrero 20/9/2024 - eviltoast

Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    Crickey, that’s an interesting response. I guess I should ask, why do you go there then?

    I was ready to take on a cafe about 10 years back, but the business owners still wanted full control of how the cafe was run, so my answer was no.

      The same reason I go to the pub instead of drinking at home! Because that’s where everyone else is drinking 😆

      I guess for a cafe there’s also the benefit of not having to cook. I don’t often find anything in a cafe that I couldn’t make better myself. And by better I mean more in line with my own tastes, which aren’t necessarily objectively better.

        I fully understand the social aspects of your comments. That said, your coffee made from your own machine will be a bit more personal and need to be as best as possible aligned to your personal taste.
