They all look like pseudo-intellectual leftwingers, right down to the skinny wirerim-bespectacled men with scarves looped jauntily (and might I say, queerly) around their necks.

I think I’ve darkened the threshold of a Starbuck’s a half dozen times; my last visit was in 2000.

After waiting in line twelve minutes, I had the pleasure of arguing with a fetus behind the counter exactly how an “espresso americano” was made, did not get what I ordered, and was overcharged.

I’d rather pay a hobo to make me coffee in a soup can over a buffalo chip bonfire.
