The 5 star review of this place references "businesses without imagination who fall back on Stumptown," which neglects both the international (via direct trade) local (Portland-based) and personal (who has bigger rushes? Yet Stumptown would never advocate serving inferior coffee) philosophy of respect and appreciation that Stumptown preaches.

This town has the highest concentration of well-educated, unemployed people under 30 in the nation. In this job market, when hopeful job applicants are fighting tooth and nail for every new position that opens, is it too much to ask that businesses show the same dedication and respect? The same level of sincere commitment?

I found the management at ParkerS to be apathetic and rude, and the latte I had was bitter. I would encourage patrons to support businesses that respect you more, and hope job applicants to look elsewhere.

In the interest of full disclosure, I was offered a second interview that would take the form of a 4.5 hr unpaid "trial/exploratory/volunteer" shift. I turned it down.
