Joshua Trees Demise


I'm sad to say I've decided that I do not want to go to Joshua Tree (coffee place) anymore. Lately everytime I have gone there, there has been something that has made me upset or grossed out. Ever since Joshua changed ownership it is just not as good. The bathroom is never clean; shit stains in the toilet everyday are just not acceptable. You can tell they never clean the sink. What does that say about the cleanliness of the rest of the building.
Many times when I have asked for a coffee to stay (in a to stay mug, pointing included), I still get my coffee in a to-go cup.
Yesterday I ordered a coffee, chicken panini, and veggie sandwich (no mustard), I said to Kevin (the man who owns it and also works the till for the most part), I'll take the coffee now and I'll come tell you when I would like the food. About 5 minutes after Jenn met me the food came to the table. Now I'll admit, this was a nice gesture, he proabably thought the food was for Jenn and I, but it wasn't, it was supposed to be for Greg and I. When they set the food at the table I noticed there was mustard on my sandwich. I didn't say anything right then because they had to take it back, because that is not when I wanted it.
So when I was ready for the food, about an hour later, I repeated "no mustard on my sandwich please". "Yes, of course", Kevin replied. So about 5 minutes later I get my food to go, and don't bother checking it, I figure it has to be right at this point. I drive to meet Greg at work and we sit down to eat our dinner. I open up my sandwich and what is on it? MUSTARD. Ahhh! Now either that means he just used the same sandwich he had made an hour before or, or who the heck knows!
I don't think I can go there anymore. I'm sorry Jenn. There are 3 other coffee shops on that street, I'm sure we could try something else out for a while.

I really want to like and support Joshua Tree because the people are nice and the paninis were fantastic. But I have to admit that I never go there anymore. If it's up to me, I always head somwhere else. Sad...
