Coffee Shop Gets Roasted For Requiring Customers To Smile At Front Door

No one likes being told to smile more. I thought this was common knowledge by now. But nope, people (almost always women) are still being told to flash a smile by some clueless man who thinks he’s being slick. And being told to smile when you’re not smiling is like being told to calm down when you’re angry — it has the opposite of the intended effect.

Now a cafe has decided to bar anyone from entering unless they smile at the sensor installed at the door. It’s creepy. It’s dystopian. I hate everything about it. You want me to smile before I have my morning coffee? There will be a brick through the window of this cafe within a month, mark my words.

Naturally, Twitter is roasting the cafe harder than Starbucks roasts its beans. Keep going for some of our favorite responses.
