Starbucks for the Unemployed

11:30am. Tuesday. September 22, 2009.

Mom: What you doing?

Lanie: At Starbucks.

Mom: Can you afford that now?

Lanie: I don't drink the coffee I use the internet.

Mom: Don't you have internet at the apartment?

Lanie: Yes.

Mom: So why would-

Lanie: It's easier to work here.

Mom: It's easier to work in a crowded chain coffee shop with Baristas yelling than your own home?

Lanie: Yes.

Mom: I think this is another generation gap.
