randy_byersSo I stopped by the Bean and Bagel this morning to get some coffee. The barista was filling the coffee grinder from a bag of beans.
Me: How often do you go through one of those bags?
Barista: This thing was full at 7 this morning. It's been crazy busy.
Me: It's all these damned students. Oh, you're probably one of them!
Barista: I used to be, but I just graduated.
Me: Congratulations.
Barista: Thanks. [Looks embarrassed.] Um, yeah ... this is my, um, internship. Yeah, that's it!
Me: This is clearly today's job market at work.
Barista: Yes, free-wheeling free-market capitalism at work!
