Holy crap. This is the first time ever a note has left me utterly speechless. The nuances of the passive aggressiveness…the multifaceted points of the note (”I’ll shit in your coffee if you shit on the floor… go shoot up elsewhere, slimebag”) This is truly a PA work of art.

Dammit! Now where the hell am I gonna go to do my drugs?
(This one just had to be about coffee!!
I hope the barista doesn’t want to know who won the game, cause they fuck with my coffee they will find out that the Celtics were handed their asses on the court.

Point of Interest:
The barista who cleans this restroom does not wash her hands and her mood is determined by your willingness to share your drugs.
Thank you

Highlighters…check
“Thanks!”…check
Thinly veiled threat…check
Separate and almost worse post script…check
Stars or clip art…check
Virtually impossible to remove…check
Yup. It’s a passive aggressive note and, let me tell you ppl, they mean it!

This note also confirms my theory that, in order to be a barista (especially in Seattle), you must have a chip, no a rock, on your shoulder.

What kind of shitty-ass establishment posts a notice admitting that the quality of their product fluctuates with an employee’s mood? And who wants it pointed out that the same person who cleans shit and piss also makes the drinks?
They just may as well include the E. Coli Cappuccino on the menu and forget about it.

I think it’s great that a guy can mop up urine and scrub splattered feces from the rim of the commode and still have enough self-esteem to call himself a barista.
Being the pessimist I am, being assigned to latrine duty would drive home the fact that I’m just a loser who works in a coffee shop.

If you can’t control yourself, don’t fucking work in the food service industry, and don’t threaten customers with threats of unsanitary drinks. People like this are white trash pieces of shit.

Normally, I like to take a family snapshot at a “Point of Interest”. I crowded my kids into the stall, broke out my camera, and was immediately arrested under suspicion of child pornography. The cops had been staking out the site for dopers.
Typical Wednesday.

Between pink t-shirts and drugs, doesn’t anyone use a bathroom to shit anymore??

unless the barista is checking the bathroom after every customer, she’s not going to have any idea which one trashed the bathroom. and if the trashers have already gotten their coffee, she’s not going to be able to take it out on them. she’s probably just going to cut loose on random customers.
so the only thing this sign says is “i’m a bitch and everyone is going to suffer because i have to do my job.” i don’t think i’d buy anything at this place, i don’t want my coffee ruined because the barista’s mother told her to clean her room.

‘”Venkman, come quickly! I’ve discovered the secret method of brewery electrokinetics!”
“What’s that?”
“Watch as I place an electronic scullcap on our student subject, while he watches an episode of “America’s next Top Model”.
“…so?”
“Now, taste this coffee.”
“Mmm, sultry, smooth- almost like a shot of Disaronno has been added…”
“Yes! Quite tasty, but watch now as I force our subject to view “Oprah” instead…”
“Wow, those PkE needles are jumping!”
“…and taste the coffee.”
“Yuck- it’s turned into a soapy, sour mush!’
“Exactly- his mood determines the quality of your coffee!”
“I’m going to take back some of the things I said about you, Egon.”

Christ on a bike - this has to win PA note of the Year so far. UBER-GROSS.
Who is the manager who would let this stay up? An 18 yr old slacker who thinks this is funny?
One more reason to avoid Seattle and its denizens.
