"(The other half are horrible, soulless careerists looking for a letter of reference and a leg-up, sure, but even that has some potential for a few good plotlines.)"

that was one of my favorite nuggets in the book.

@neytiri- of course. poor customer service is poor customer service, and while i try to spend my money in locally-owned places, i go to five guys for a burger ahead of the cool local indie burger joint because the service at the chain is a million times better. maybe it's unusual that my coffee spots aren't run by
