    The stands at Starbucks look like this (by the coffee machines):

    Although it's hard to tell from the image there are prices indicating the paper is for sale. These stands are often sitting right next to the place you pick up your drink and thus some people will steal a paper on the way out. I'm always annoyed by people reading through the entire paper before folding it back up.

    That would be okay with me, but I'm pretty white. We just have Peet's Coffee here as the non-Starbucks option. To me it tastes better, and then I don't have to worry about the covert Phase II plan from Starbucks (shiver).

    No Blue Bottle or Philz?

    Your Bay Area card has be revoked as well.

    With your streak of card turnover, you'll admit to not returning books from the library...

    Nope, just saw a bunch of black guys stealing crap in broad daylight that every single caucasian was perfectly happy to actually pay for. Dipsticks like you who blame black failure on "privilege" apportioned between 200+ million others create the sense of the entitlement that facilitates that contrast in behavior.

    That's the white man's way of stealing newspapers.

    You know, I *did* lose a library book this year. :( I also think I lost my Texan card some time ago due to my voting record and not being able to drive stick.

    Honestly, the only fancy-ass coffee I like is from Ritual (Valencia St. version). I'll seriously walk the dog over there and get some in the morning.
