While young Kathryn Loy, owner of Pastry Peddler, was on the phone with a technician trying to get her credit card machine to work, the older woman at the counter explained that this was exactly the kind of annoying glitch that had kept the new bakery’s Coming Soon sign in the window several months longer than expected. A customer sympathized, pointing out that business owners have to pay rent all those months before they open.
