What a show! What a pose! Who exactly do you think you are? Hemingway? Fitzgerald? No. Can't be. Those guys wouldn't drink this so called coffee in this hell hole. Look at the guy making the drinks, clearly an idiot, oh but look at him now, pretending to be reading some philosopher I've never heard of. Yes, pretending, I can see him eyeing his sides to make sure someone is watching. And you typing away on that machine, that dinosaur, in your thrift shop clothes wearing that dumb beret, so special. I'm going to leave the pretentiousness that surrounds me here, it's truly numbing and sick. Forget Starbucks, I'm going to that bar across the street. Whiskey is cheaper than this cup of coffee flavored water.
