L.A. Coffee Chain Proclaims Ban of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George
Written by SOURCE on July 8, 2019
A California coffee chain that was, no doubt, seeking publicity decided to react to the Clippers‘ acquistions of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George by banning the two players from their establishment(s). As you can tell by this article their ploy has at least had some success.
Specifically, the coffee chain in question is Alfred Coffee, which currently boasts nine locations throughout California. They made their public proclamation to the pair of stars on Monday via a tongue in cheek message on their Instagram. The source of their ire? Well, as you know there are two teams in L.A., and apparently the Lakers are supposed to be the only squad that ever gets the spotlight. Mets, White Sox, Jets, Angels, Nets (circa up to a week ago), and probably a few other fan bases know the feeling.
The message, which you can see here, said “We reserve the right to refuse service to Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and anyone else affiliated with the Clippers organization.”
Now if there is a happy medium between saying “hey, great” under your breath, and coming up with a campaign to destroy a business with a bombardment of angry Yelp reviews, like this…:
…it would be making a snarky and sometimes serious joke or observation on Twitter, because it’ll only take an hour or two before that gets buried by yet more snarky and sometimes serious jokes/commentary on some other topic.
So, without further adieu:
