Transcript excerpt

It's getting pretty fucking cold here in Minnesota and very icy. So we're gonna be closed Friday the twenty third in support of the economic blackout here in Minnesota. We understand we're lucky as a small business to be able to close for a day and not everybody can afford to do that. Tier really sucks is how a lot of small businesses have been forced to close because of the safety of their employees. In solidarity, we'll be closed Friday the twenty third to attend the ice out march up in Minneapolis at 2PM. But don't worry if you forget we're closed and still show up. We'll have free coffee out here on Friday morning.
