Jay gets his closeup :)
BlogTo's "Get to Know a Barista" has been a mixed bag for the site. Many of the past profiles attracted lots of hate-filled comments, followed by editor deletions and further proof that curated comments are the future of the Internet :)
We bring this up because our very own Jay is the latest profile and the worst that people can say about him is "dude, cut your hair." ;)
Nice going, Jay. You're the best!

Yes, we are open today, Family Day! Come join us!
Family makes life better, just like properly pulled espresso and foamy lattes and getting off speeding tickets!
(Just kidding! Don't speed! Relax.)
Shawn sent this picture over to us. Her beloved Mother died a year ago last night.
Hold your loved ones tight, each and every day. Happy Family Day everyone.

We've decided as a store to help out the "Be a Santa to Seniors" program this year. Its premise is rather simple: Giving gifts to seniors who are alone at Christmas. You come in to The Rooster, you select an "ornament" with a gift request (usually basics like pajamas, or pet supplies, or toiletries) printed on the back, go and purchase the gift, return it to us, and then a volunteer from the organization delivers the gift the senior on the 20th or 21st of December. Voila! Instant happiness on both sides. You have until December 19th to join in, so if you feel inclined, pop in and Help Out a Senior! Ask us in store next time you're in.
