Would this rub you the wrong way?

Just looking for some feedback.

I'm in a 2 story building and we just got a new tenant next door, a chiropractor. Very nice woman.

Her staff member means well but is quite annoying. In any case, last month she came by and told my front desk she's 'starving', and asked if we had any food for her. Keep in mind this is a dental office. My front desk offered her an apple from the fridge. There are no less than 20 eating places w/in 2 miles.

Anyways, so today, I happen to be in my waiting room straightening up, and this woman walks into my office. She comes in with a coffee mug in hand. Like it's her fucking kitchen. She lifts it in the air as if to toast, says "coffee", and proceeds to put in a keurig k-cup from my coffee bar that is there for my patients and helps herself to a cup of coffee. Since I'm a new business there are times no one is up front and I have a feeling she has been doing this for a while.

I about blew a gasket. Had she come in and said hey, left without a cup of joe, mind if I grab one, I'd have said sure. But in she walks like it's her fucking house, waves the mug at me and proceeds to help herself. I'm running a business I'm not a fucking 7-11.

I told her it's okay today but not to make a habit of it. I think it's less the k-cup and more the way she felt entitled to it.

She's either got brass stones or is the biggest dolt alive. -450 on the latter.

next time she drops in for munchies and a cup of joe ask her if her mother was every bit as rude.

Sounds like you didn't put a stop to it.

My front desk went to speak to her afterwards to ask her to show some respect towards the office. I didn't ask her to and wasn't happy she did, although she meant well. I'd like to be on good terms and am going to ask the chiropractor to remind her staff that we are a place of business and not there for their convenience.

To be honest I was so shocked by the time I picked my jaw up off the floor I didn't gather my wits very well.

That's beautiful!

I'd do something to piss her off or you'll regret it the next year.

I was considering eating a massive burrito for lunch next week, walking past her at their desk with newspaper under my arm, drop a massive load in their toilet, stinking up the entire 1k square foot operation, and most importantly, not flushing.

Buy her a Coffee maker as a Welcome to the Building...........:popcorn2

Actually I posted this on a dental message board I frequent and many people suggested this.

I don't think they have any room for it.

I don't mind if she brings over her own k-cups and uses my machine, I just don't want her drinking coffee meant for my customers.

BTW I had an NBA player, top 20 in ppg this year, bring his kids in today. It was pretty cool.

Why would you tell her this, when you obviously NOT okay with it?

You're a fucking dentist. Sometimes, you have to pull the tooth.

You're right, I can't argue w/ that. I'm usually pretty quick but I was so taken aback I stammered and that's all I could get out. I promptly retired to my office and punched myself in the face repeatedly.
