I'm in Espresso Royale finishing up some work on a Friday night--one of my favorite things to do. It gives such great anticipation for the night. Its Unofficial here on campus. A "holiday" that disgusts me. But thats not what this post is about.
The drunks keep coming in to use the bathroom and keep warm. A girl in here is trying to contact her friends via cell phone because "everyone fucking left me!" and she doesn't have any idea where she is. She's crying. Honestly, I do feel bad for her and would be willing to help had someone else not sat down to calm her first. But my point is that she keeps trying to explain to whoever is on the other end of the phone that she's "In a fucking Starbucks."
This place is certainly not Starbucks. Like, Google or Kleenex or Coke, "Starbucks" is used instead of coffee shop. Oh branding....
