Conversion

If they start selling beer at Starbucks the conversation i just heard would have ended in fisticuffs.


Once again I am at the local Starbucks using the wireless and and drinking an iced tea. There where already two men sitting in the corner having a heated discussion about politics. I obviously go to the opposite side of the store to sit and put on my headphones. Never pressing play on my itunes i continue listening in on how america is going commie and liberty was based in blood.

This is a common conversation at a bar but here at Starbucks, most people just don't seem to care that much. Everyone goes about there own business and like a library keep there voices low. I have seen people give the stink eye to people who talk too loud on the cell phone. But not today, these two men are having a heated discussion about topics that get people heated. Stink eye was flying around.

If there had been alcohol served here as well as the coffee those stink eyes would have been rude comments. Eventually people with just enough booze in them to feel a little empowered would speak up and a fight would have broken out. Although seeing a fight at Starbucks does sound appealing to me, that is not why I come here, and i think not the reason most people come here.

i love alcohol, and I never thought I would have found a place where I wouldn't want them to serve it but today i found my limit. So please Starbucks, i would love for you not to serve the sauce. Maybe there should just be directions to the local bar if you want to see a fight.
