I found what seemed like the perfect location for an intimate coffee meetup. Then a simple conversation about reserving a table turned into one of the strangest business interactions I've had in a while.
There was a fee, an invoice that never came and very little interest in the details of the event. When I suggested several ways we could make the gathering mutually beneficial, the owner made her preference clear: She would rather have the $100.
This episode isn't about whether businesses should charge. It's about how we choose to do business.
Do relationships still matter, or has business become purely transactional? I'm sharing why I walked away and asking you to weigh in.
