On June 23. 2011, I visited Catalina Coffee Company in Redondo Beach to play a game of chess and enjoy a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, I heard an alarming story on how the owner Ellen Brown of Catalina Coffee Company and three employees profiled and disgustingly treated a customer roughly. Catalina Coffee Company is serving up religious intolerance. The woman was drinking water instead of coffee when the owner of the coffee company humiliated the woman who was a regular good paying customer. Ellen due to her arrogant attitude failed to notice or cared to understand that not everyone drinks coffee and tea. The woman belongs to a small religious minority that keeps a dietary health code. Ellen resented the woman having a free cup of water. California law requires any food serving restaurant to serve water to anyone asking. The woman explained that not only was she a regular customer who paid an automatic monthly debit fee for the Internet service the cafe uses but also does spend more then $10.00 there per day. The customer asked the three employees on duty to tell the owner who had been away from the premises for over a month that she indeed spent money there. All three of the employees denied the woman bought anything though they each has sold her salads, sandwiches, bowls of soups, and brownies numerous times. The employees sheepishly hung there heads shamefully and avoided eye contact. Many witnessed Giant Ellen's Gestapo actions toward the customer. Ellen Brown asked to see a months worth of receipts as she hounded the woman . If one customer is asked to show receipts all should be asked. Though we all know nothing so crude should ever be done or would be done by a sane business owner. Ellen Brown is a strange hateful person, her and the three employees need to be reported to ACLU. This is poisonous trend.
