Breaking News: Beaner Bar Now Carries Sweet'N Low!

HUGE NEWS!   The high-pitched whine of the anonymous internet ranker has spoken, and for once, someone actually took it seriously!! Beaner Bar has now converted to Sweet'N Low-friendly, thanks to this very blog.

Someone from the Beaner Bar website just posted a comment on my post about them with a link to their own blog, where they proudly display their new addition to the sweetener station:


On 2/10/10, they write"

"Sorry for not having Sweet n Low, we’re not complete haters. (Lori is a Splenda fan.;
2/22/10 UPDATE: You asked for it, you got it, sweet n low down reviewer!"

Beaner Bar, you have made my day!

Now, everyone go there and order tons of expensive drinks and buy a muffin to go along with it and let them know how happy you are!  Whether you use Sweet'N Low or not, the real key here is that this is an establishment that really cares about making their customers happy and wants to make sure they're really enjoying their coffee.

ONE LOVE, BEANER BAR. ONE LOVE.

I would like to state for the record that as a general rule, I do not like coffee shops.  I don't like hanging out in them, I find interacting with the staff akward, I hate the other patrons.  I don't spend time just sipping coffee and reading or on my laptop; I've never understood people who like to pass time in coffee shops; I much prefer the comfort of my own home.  But sometimes you need to stop in to grab coffee on the go. 

At least with Beaner Bar, there's really not much seating, so there aren't the degenerates who can't afford their own internet connection loitering around.  This is a big positive, enough that I'm willing to not care about the Bay Area bike messenger vibe.

But who the fuck cares, because they don't have Sweet 'N Low.  Because I always hope that perhaps they've just forgotten to refill the SNL, I usually ask if they have it.  This is usually met, as it was at Beaner Bar, with "yeah sure, we have Splenda! Right over there."    Sigh...
