We are all sacrificing right now, all over the world.  We are truly in this thing together! If you're listening to this podcast, you're a coffee lover.  And you know our beloved locally-owned coffeeshops are struggling right now.  I challenge you to take action on one (or more) of these 3 steps to help save the coffeeshops that we love so dearly in our local communities: 1) BUY.  If you're financially able, buy the highest-margin items that you local coffeeshop offers.  Examples: bags of roasted coffee, merchandise, gift cards (IF the shop gets the revenue upon purchase of the gift card) 2) TIP.  If you're financially able, leave a MONSTER TIP for your barista when you order.  There are also "Virtual Tip Jars" (nationwide list // Atlanta list) out there where you can leave a tip even if your coffeeshop is not open. 3) SHARE.  Leverage the best part of Social Media by inviting your family & friends to follow your favorite local coffeeshops and support them in the two ways above. If we all do what we can, we can help the specialty coffee industry - and all the human lives associated with it - in such a challenging time.
