Alex Beam, On Starbucks

Email|Link|Comments (1) Posted by Geoff Edgers July 6, 2008 02:33 PM

I'm always amazed at the high-class hobos who clutter up Starbucks, the MacBook "novelists," and the Bluetooth-enabled "consultants," nursing their lattes and milking the Internet. The Dunkin' Donuts outlets in my neighborhood offer a glaring contrast. I hit Dunkin' a few mornings each week after exercising. It's the only time of day when I interact with men and women who actually work for a living.

Read Beam, in total.

I like the Starbucks dark roast blends, which is why I go there instead of Dunkin'. I go there in the mornings before I head to my non-profit job - that's right, I work, and not because my daddy is bankrolling my condo and thinks it would be a good idea for me to be a well rounded person. Sometimes I go there to get away from my roommates (turns out even working for a living won't afford a one bedroom in Boston) and study for the graduate classes I am paying for out of pocket with no reimbursement from work or otherwise.

But you've got me all figured out based on the logo of the cup I'm holding, right?

If you're the sort of person who frequents a Dunkin' Donuts, that's reason enough for me to continue to go elsewhere.
