to a certain extent, what needs to be said has already been said, but here is my view. just because an artisan coffee shop makes itself just as accessible as an average coffee shop doesn't mean that they should now feel obligated to bow to the ignorant wishes of the general consumer.

if murky and other coffee shops of similar a caliber were raise their prices, enforce a dress code, and require reservations, no one would ask for stupid crap that's not on the menu. just because the artisan coffee industry affords the general populace the ability to enjoy their product, does not mean that the business in question should have to lower their standards. Capitalism? yes.
