You are utterly charming.
Why don’t you ask me out already?

Her Two Cents on Beckett Barista Jittery Joe’s
Reads good books, says funny things, has a weird accent… what’s not to like about a Jittery Joe? My only caution to you, dear Athenian poet, is that you guard your heart and conduct a bit more reconnaissance lest you misinterpret friendly customer service for affection. That little latte foam heart could be the only design he knows how to make (but we’ll hope that’s not the case).
Gentle Readers: Coffee is a national obsession, whether you’re drinking at the ‘bucks, Dunkin’ Ds, or some place that isn’t owned by a corporate monolith. Where’s your favorite place to to get a caffeine fix? Is it because of the quality of the beverages or the baristas?
