DORK REPORT >>>

Last night Tully's Coffee in Tacoma's Stadium District was robbed. Someone kicked in two back doors to enter the coffee shop. The espresso machines, flatscreen, expensive syrups, coffee, and scones all remain intact. They trashed the cash reigster only to find zero cash.

Currently, Tully's is only taking credit/debit cards. A corporate representative - on his day off - is dealing with the issues.
