The plane, boss. The plane.

The Doc Searls Weblog : Tuesday, April 13, 2004

On the minus side, the Red Carpet Club folks have replaced their aging instant-espresso (also mocha, cappuccino, etc.) machines with new ones that dispense a beverage called "cappuccino," but instead is something sweet and undrinkable, in the manner of the hot flavored syrup that comes out of the other spigots on the machine, labeled "hot chocolate," "swiss mocha," "english toffee" and "french vanilla." You'd think, with lines of flyers at Starbucks outside the door, that they'd get a clue.

Jeez, life's a bitch, ain't it. Is anyone else getting tired of the blogging subgenre of bitching about the amenities/lack thereof pertaining to your constant travel to and from conferences et al?

It's funny that the hipster "Starbucks is taking over the world" is replaced by "I can't get a decent cup of coffee in this freaking place".
