Coffee


41D Inbound.
A yinzer in casual business attire is sitting, spread out, in the back of the bus, speaking to a 20-something woman, also in casual business attire:

Yinzer: Do they have a Starbucks in Station Square?
[Woman shakes her head.]
Yinzer: Why not?
Woman: Well, Station Square is surrounded by a lot of busy streets, so the backup in traffic it would cause is probably a problem. And there are a lot of Starbucks downtown, so they probably don’t need one in Station Square.
Yinzer: Tell you what: If I hit the lottery, that’s what I’d open!

Jitters, Shadyside:

Slim Woman: [leaning over the counter] Just a small one with skim milk.
Barista: How much do you weigh? 120? You don’t need skim.
Slim Woman: Okay, I’ll go with 2% —Wait, can I have a milkshake?
