Things I've Seen at Starbucks: Halloween Edition

It has been relatively and surprisingly quiet at the 'bucks today. But now, as I finally click off of Facebook, Gmail and my many other open tabs, a pair of young men dressed up in costumes are stirring cream into coffees. I am sitting in an overstuffed chair next to a gentleman with an unkept and overgrown beard who regularly comes in and spends the day napping and reading the paper. I watch them discuss the evening's plans casually over sweetener and sugar.

One is wearing a large zebra-print brimmed hat with pink fur trim, a loud suit and an entitled walk. The other is dressed in a white uniform with a tilted cap and tight pants. I look over at the gentleman next to me and smile when I realize he's seen them, too.

There is a pause and then the gentlemen says loudly, "So a pimp and a sailor walk into a Starbucks..."

And I can't help it, I laugh out loud. As loud as he's said it. With that, it is time to turn off and turn my attention to my own costumed boy, waiting patiently for candy and his buddy Sammy and his mommy and trick-or-treating to begin.
