Not Tiny Tim
Randie is confused….she’s got the wrong Dickens story.
Dickens was a champion for the poor… when he was young, his family was incredibly poor. His father went bankrupt trying to run his own coffeehouse. I give him mega kudos for trying…
That might endear Randie to Dickens… if she ever bothered to read his work.

His dad’s problem was marketing. He named the place Dicken’s Tickins and had a big alarm clock on every table. Every time you ordered a cup of coffee they reset the alarm to go off after 10 minutes, which was the time he’d calculated was optimal to drink and begone. If you purchased a half-price refill they’d reset the clock.He figured if regimented labor conditions worked for the sweat shops they’d work for a coffee house. Sadly, he was wrong …
Nuh uh, Crow! Squack!
Are you sure? I could have sworn … 🙂
