The morbid/cruel side of me thought this was going to be about a barista who hanged himself.

Hey, Jim, thanks for reminding me about selling an extra old apron on eBay. Someone was going to put it in the trash because of a small flaw in the fabric. If you want it, I will gladly send it to you for free in appreciation for having this site.

What's funny is the fact that they are only about $5 to replace. :<

$19.99? Sweet, I've been wanting to make some extra cash, and I have a bunch of aprons wasting space in my closet!
Any idea how much are the promotional aprons (project (Red), Vivanno, ect.) are running?

*while
(note to self: if you're gonna be a jerk - at least say the right words!)

JJ...Not a partner anymore! Even while I was, my income was a supplement to my spouse's, who brought in significantly more. Biting the hand that fed me (even as a barista) would require a trip to DC, and would probably end with a life sentence in Leavenworth.
And yes, I was too lazy to check ebay myself. Although I did check earlier today and I was disappointed that very few aprons had any bids.

You want to make some real money, hang onto that Pavoni when/if you make it to 15 years. I have mine up on ebay right now. The auction doesn't close until Sunday and it is already at $200. I am also auctioning off the 10 and 15 year awards. Those aren't doing as well but fingers crossed!!
