Update on my coffee shop’s breakup: The major partner has given notice to his landlord, he’s closing at the end of Feb. and has paid through March to give himself plenty of time to get all the stuff out. The minor partner has signed a three year lease with the same landlord, to start in April. He’s getting a free month and expects to be closed for two weeks to paint and redo everything. Major partner has finally owned up to minor partner that he’s getting out, whether his portion sells or not. Minor partner has said, ‘No, thanks.’ to the wildly overpriced used equipment, but has not said that he will have a new coffee shop at the old location. They rarely work on the same days. I quit going in on Major partner’s days this week, because I find it too weird that he’s pretending to the public that nothing’s going on, and apparently I’m just ‘the public’, not a person who has come in everyday for three years and discussed brain injuries and stuff (he had a stroke before he moved here.) And he just stuck his head in to see if I’m OK because I didn’t come in today. I was on the phone, so I said, ‘I’m OK’, and left it at that. Tomorrow is Minor partner’s day. Whew!
