I'm on the route 23 bus right now, and I just passed by an anti-foreclosure protest. You go people!!!

I am currently sitting in the Starbucks located in the Richfield Super Target, sipping a delicious "Signature Hot Chocolate — rich, creamy, European-style hot chocolate, made with a blend of four distinctive cocoas".
The beverage is not the problem. The "barista" is. I asked how she would describe the hot cocoa, in words other than what it said on the chalkboard.
"It's good, I don't know, I just work here..."
Haven't you had any of your own employer's drinks?! Isn't that what the discount is for?
Of course, there are not very many barriers to entry into a barista position. I suppose it's just "I just work here" that bothers me so much.
Oh well. The cocoa's good.
