I Despise Starbucks

June 24th, 2008 · No Comments

The fact that I’m sitting in one right now should only be attributed to my desire to download music, and nothing more.  The absurd gymnastics of receiving free wireless here - buying a ‘Starbucks Card’, signing up for some sort of AT&T account, receiving spam e-mails - combined with the fact that all of their food is insanely unhealthy (thanks NYC guidelines demanding calorie counts on menus!), makes me wonder why I biked the thirty blocks out here.  And then I remembered: I live in Queens.  Nothing is convenient.  For small detached houses (or in some cases, gaudy, marble-smothered monstrosities) on tiny lots, Queens residents have sacrificed everything.

Well, not really.  But still.  Couldn’t someone knock 20 minutes off the commute via public transit?
