MAN, 88, CHARGED AFTER RUNNING A FULL COFFEE BAR OUT OF HIS NURSING HOME ROOM
MAN, 88, CHARGED AFTER RUNNING A FULL COFFEE BAR OUT OF HIS NURSING HOME ROOM TULSA, OKLAHOMA — Bernard Aldous, 88, was charged Monday after facility staff discovered he had installed a full espresso setup on his dresser and had been quietly running a daily coffee bar out of his room for months, opening promptly at 6am. Administrators say the operation first drew attention when a line of residents formed outside his door before breakfast, all holding empty mugs. He allegedly installed an espresso machine and a grinder on his dresser and opened at 6am daily He charged a dollar a cup and kept a hand-lettered menu with four options Staff say the queue outside his door was longer than the one at the dining room urn Investigators found a mason jar labeled "Coffee Fund" containing over $140 in cash Aldous reportedly kept a mug rack mounted to the wall for regulars Residents said Aldous's espresso put the dining hall's coffee to shame, and many had rearranged their entire mornings around his hours. One resident said "the dining room urn tastes like a memory of coffee — Bernard's the real thing." "I've dealt with contraband snacks, illegal card games, a resident running a small betting pool on bingo," said facility administrator Renee Castillo. "Never a fully operational espresso bar with a menu and a cash jar." The hand-lettered menu, four options deep, reportedly declined to comment. He pulled the best shot in the building — now he's pulled from the building's good graces.
