Lousy Latte
Heritage Hunt/ Gainesville VA. December 18, 2021: After a twenty-four mile bike ride, my fingers were numb. I decided to pop into the Heritage Hunt club house. The association has reported subpar coffee and breakfast beverage sales month after month, but how bad can it be? As a resident, I benefit from the club's success so I stop in. I grab a seat at the bar, and I am quickly told, "We don't open until 11am."

"Its 10:58," I said. "I will wait the two minutes. Give me a latte with an extra shot please." When a business does not even start selling coffee until 11am, you are sending a distinct message to potential customers. No surprise, it was the worst latte I have ever purchased. Senior citizens, or "active seniors" don't have an appreciation for the cost and value of decent coffee. It was the last latte I will purchase in Heritage Hunt. While waiting for my drink, I notice the overstuffed suggestion box sitting on the bar, undoubtedly brimming with criticisms and snarky recommendations.
