Took the Mrs out for a Sunday ride. Did our usual ride to nowhere thing. But our Sunday rides always have 2 things
in common. Part way though we stop for ice cream or a burger or somthing but ride always ends the same.
Stop at local Mom and Pop coffee shop just down the street.
We get 2 ice coffees sit at the picnic tables talk about the ride and count the people with cell phones stuck to their heads driving by.(we're wild ones I tell you).
So todays ride ended like always kinda. Pulled into the coffee shop. And found out that Mom and Pop sold out to some chain. Cant rmrber the name "Gay Island Coffee" or somthing like that.We get off the bike (wet thanks to the thunderstorm we hit). I go inside. Place has been all done over looks like a cheap copy of a Starbucks (spit).
Complete loss of small town local flavor. Dont even have the
grill anymore used to be able to get breakfast there. Instead thay got this Frankenstien lookin coffee grinding
contraption.
So I go up to the counter and say "2 large regular iced coffees please."Regular used to mean with cream and sugar. The girl goes in the back comes out five minutes later and says we dont have any regular coffee made. If you want to you can wait. What? this is a coffee shop right? she points me to the "menue" menue? I want a freaking coffee.They have about 10 "flavors" anybody ever heard of a pinacolada coffee?
But no just plain freaking coffee.I just turned around walked out me and OL got back on the bike, went down the street to the duncan freakin donuts.
Whats the world coming to.
Rant over
