The Christmas Starbucks can't get a break blues
The Starbucks across the street from the Daily News is a bit overrun. Forget about getting through the line in the morning unless you budget yourself some time. My time budget is in serious deficit, and I usually crawl over in the early afternoon, if at all.
So today, Christmas Day to be exact, it was my chance. Who works in Warner Center on Christmas? Nobody but us trolls on the Daily News copy desk. I pull into the lot, which S*Bucks shares with a gas station, mini-market and dry cleaners.
I park right in front.
I'm second in line.
The family in front of me is, all wearing festive holiday headgear, by the way, was ... BUYING AN ESPRESSO MACHINE AS A GIFT. And there was second-guessing, discussion ... and what there wasn't was anybody shouting ahead in the two-party line to get my drink going. I had to leave. It was time to ... be here.
I had 50-cent machine coffee. Not fitty. Fifty. I ain't in da club.
I couldn't take it. I had to leave.
And that's the Christmas Starbucks Can't Get A Break Blues (insert harmonica break here).
(Sorry if I made you a little teary.)
