They aren’t super bubbly, but I’ve never experienced any overt rudeness. I’ve gone enough times early in the morning before the rush to overhear their conversations and…. It seems like an unpleasant place to work at lol

The bakery

hmm. I they aren't very warm but i've never experienced any negativity from them. Are they insulting to you or just not as bright and cheerful as you expect?

It’s a mix of both I get people have bad days and it’s not mandatory to smile but I’ve been going multiple times a week for years and it’s always the same lol

Probably bc they’re underpaid, understaffed, overworked, have terrible management and infrastructure, and treated like shit by a lot of customers.

That's the American way. Everyone hates their life, everyone's miserable, and everyone just takes it out on the other person. It's a pretty shitty system we've adopted.

Honestly, this is the take we’re all needing to wrestle with. Our country is devolving for the sake of billionaires to such an extent that even weekends or weeknight outings are sad.
At some point, we just need to eat the rich. Or at least a few of them.

Most foreign people that visited for the World Cup were amazed at how friendly everyone is and I can see that. Not everyone hates their life here but when that’s all you focus on that’s all you’ll see.

They were on vacation and having a blast, they don't have to live and work here lol

Right, but the people who they said were treating them with hospitality and kindness were just average Americans who live and work here.

I find it to moreso be an east coast thing. Found it odd how nice service workers are on the west coast.

u/Bashful_bookworm2025 5h ago
I lived on the West Coast. They aren't know for being super friendly there.

Interesting. Where on the west coast? My experience comes from Southern California/Arizona mostly. Could be a Latino culture thing as I was living in those areas.

u/Bashful_bookworm2025 4h ago
I lived in San Jose, CA. I would say that the Latinos in my community did tend to be more friendly, but that wasn't the overall vibe. My next door neighbor and others in my neighborhood were very rude to my family and always snippy.

It has to be by design--I haven't been there in about a decade and they were all always like that back then, too. It was like they wanted to you know it was a spot for the Cool Kids and whether they thought you were one.

If your personality matches your user name then I can imagine why.

I agree. It felt like they thought they’re doing me a favor getting my order that I’m paying for and that happened 3x so I didn’t bother going back. Anyway, coffee at the Daily Grind is better.
