San Francisco coffee shop fed up with hipsters...

[mmntech]

...and their damn Instagram.

San Francisco’s Four Barrel Coffee made a stir last week when it posted a sign of rules including “not talking about annoying hipster topics”. Ever the fans of self-reference, its bohemian customers wouldn’t stop snapping camera phone pics of the sign so Four Barrel had to update it with a new rule: “No posting this on Instagram, you hipster.”

Of course you can hit the link for an Instagram of the sign.

Read some reviews on yelp, my goodness. Talk about coffee snobs/hipsters.

"You walk up to the guy and he will choose a coffee for you like most sommeliers will choose you a great wine for your day." (Call me old school, but I kind of like ordering what I want, not what they want to give me)

"I just wish they had wi-fi so I could go there more often!" (what is this I don't even)

"the latte art is quite impressive. It's the usual "tree/leaf" motif with many branches, but they modify the art so that the tree "branches" look rounder, to match the round rim of the mug." (Do you frame it, or drink it?)

"...reading the adorable tiny chalkboards next to each glass canister of beans on the individual drip counter. They're described like wine on a wine list, and it's pretty spot on. But obviously not for amateurs." (Clearly I would not be welcome then)

I'd much rather be a coffee snob than a hipster.

I hate coffee and hipsters. So, it's a win/win for me.

Why are hipsters so snobbish about their coffee when all they drink after noon is PBR?

Starbucks is too mainstream

Just because they drink cheap beer doesn't mean they can't drink good coffee. Gotta have standards!

Aren't the two somewhat synonymous these days?

Beard of the caveman
Arrogance of Socrates
Irony of the beatnik
Wealth of the yuppie
Stink of the hippie.

And there goes their customers.

Do hipsters even classify themselves as hipsters? If not, they probably think the posting is humorous.

For the thirty or so people in all of SF that arent douches, I'm sure they relish a safe place to have coffee.

the topic "who you fucked last night" is a hipster topic?

Is every college aged male now classified a hipster?

That's the beauty of hipsters. Not one will ever admit they're one. If they do, it means they're conforming to a subculture. Too mainstream. ^_^

A college age male will tell his buddies. A hipster will tell anyone who's a captive audience. There's a girl at my work who does this. She's definitely got some hipsterish tendencies. Normally this would be an HR call if me and my partner didn't find it so damn funny. She's French too.

guerrilla marketing by the coffee shop

Yeah. And I wouldn't be surprised if the coffee shop owners were hipsters themselves. They'll see more business in any case.

Is she any bit attractive?

Butter face. She also talks A LOT. I think I've heard her entire life story including her left wing political views and her thoughts on Catholicism, and how deeply spiritual she is. Then she told my partner that she only sleeps with guys once and dumps them if they're no good in bed. Going there would be playing chicken with a lit stuck of ugly dynamite.

 

[RearAdmiral]

haha good. I think what annoys me most about hipsters is their trendy fashions that look dumb now, but once they realize how dumb they look and change with the times they will be out 1000s of dollars on clothes.

There are ways to look poor without looking so terrifically like a wuss.

Rofl, gross.
