Classic moment at work
 

Was doing my side gig at Starbucks this morning..working the bar...making everyones drinks, etc...and I glance up and this black dude (about my age...mid 30's) is getting out of his car. First thing I notice about him is that he is wearing a Kangol hat. I kinda snicker to myself...then think, ok..this cat is old school...I can respect that. Didn't pay alot of attention when he walked in as I was fairly busy, but after he ordered his drink and came down to my end to wait for me to make it, it was then that I noticed the t-shirt he had on....it was from a Nine Inch Nails concert!!! It took all my power to not bust out laughing. I can honestly say that I will most likely go the rest of my life without ever seeing a black man in a Kangol hat and Nine Inch Nails t-shirt.

Please tell me he didn't order a frappuccino :eek:

no....Triple Grande Caramel Machiotto.

all the teeny boppers order the fraps.

nope...I live in the middle of nowhere...

Kev wishes he lived in civilization... lmfao.

aint that the truth...

Roanoke...where you are either right of Pat Buchanan or left of Al Sharpton...

I wouldn't go so far as to call Roanoke a 3rd world country, but... close. :D

I kid, I kid. :p

I have come to dread the weekends at my other job. It is when the "locals" come down from the hills and into the "big city". These people frighten me.

I just wish they'd put one in closer to my apartment! Come on, there's room for more Starbucks in Harlem!

Speaking of fashion choices, though, Kev, in Harlem Studio Museum's gift shop there is always a corner devoted to a local artist. When I went last fall it was full of fashions designed by Sistahs of Harlem, who have made a name for themselves by crafting cool, funky outfits out of old clothing- very environmentally friendly, since it's good to reuse. There was a great dress I saw, the top half being an old T-shirt with "West Side Livery Stable" (why it caught my eye) and a horse and carriage on it. However, the cut was a little urban, and I was afraid I'd look like a big poseur if I tried to wear the dress- I am clearly a suburban Caucasian born and bred, as I'm reminded every time I go to an inner city high school. Then I took a close look at the bottom half of the dress and realized it was an old Grateful Dead T-shirt. "Hurray!" I thought, "you can't get more white than a Grateful Dead T-shirt! I am allowed to wear this!" So I bought the dress.

And the dress being basically two cotton t-shirts, it's really comfortable in hot weather!

I'm sure they play a lot of golf in those hills too....

The only thing that would have made that customer better were curb feelers and a confederate flag sticker on his El Dorado!

I've got familly just down the road a little bit in Rocky Mt....Smith Mt Lake can be fun.

Yeah...the Lake is about 30 minutes from me...but it isn't my beloved beach...


Im kinda hoping this cat comes back into the store. Im gonna go find me a George Strait cowboy hat and Tupac t-shirt...then he and I are gonna hit the streets of Roanoke:cool: :cool:

This thread is just plain dumb. Clueless.

your point being? I didn't realize someone was standing there with a gun to your head making you read this thread.

It's trendy for hip hop fans to wear heavy metal/rock shirts. Particularly bands like Megadeth and Metallica. Funny stuff.

yet another sign I'm getting old PP.....I had no clue.

The point is this: blacks can't be Nine Inch Nails fans--or any other type of music-- without seeming to be "out of place"?

I guess the Kangol hat was OK, but the shirt should have been Bob Marley or SeanJean?

...And how can you know a thread is stupid if you first don't READ IT!!!???
