    As for a name, what about something cheesy along the lines of "Scotty McBean's"? :rolleyes:
    It's cool to have a boss with open mind.

    Tartans Coffee?

    get it?
    tarts and coffee???
    get it?
    could always get in a real fight and call it MacDonalds , i mean, with the right tartan flag and all..
    i had a friend call his place McDunns, or the like, mickey D's came down on that one, and his name matched, scots and all,,
    but then these are the same people that tried to get a 200 year old restaurant in england to give up it's name, said it would confuse a descerning clientelle..
    i stopped eating at macdonny's since..
    good luck with the kilt wearing..
    i work for myself, and wear a kilt anytime i please...

    The plan was to go kilted, but I had not herd back from three other stores. I was wearing....Pants...on my motorcycle when I walked in, handed in my application, and walked out. Three minutes later, I received a call on my cell phone that said, "can you come back in and interview"? I was hired on the spot. If she had called and said, come back tomorrow, I would have.

    That's terrific!! Congrats!

    But the most important thing -- in the interview did you mention working kilted? Enquiring minds want to know!!

    Congratulations on your upcoming venture, Jay. I assume your coffee shop will be in the Richmond area? If so, I'll have to stop by after you get it opened, kilted of course. I also like your idea of the PSD tartan and the Iraqi Freedom theme.

    Great idea, Highland Coffee. It designates Scotland and the Mts. where it is grown. One aspect of a coffee shop might be to start your own roast?

    I talked to the manager yesterday, and she in turned talked to the district manager, and I am approved for a tan or black kilt. Has to be plain, and has to come to my knees. Now I have to find a utilikilt in my size. My Pittsburgh kilt is tan and MARPAT, and my all black is leather and kind of fettish.
