When I first went out for dinner, places were packed so I drove over to Wellesey and walked around the town. They have the coolest looking town hall, just like a Victorian castle, across from the Wellesey Free Library...as opposed to the paid one I guess. As a Peet's addict for years, you can imagine my joy when I found a Peet's on Central Street, just a bit down from the Starbucks. So in I go. 

It's cool and I'm beginning to pile stuff stuff up (I'm in there about 10 minutes) when this young man appears from the back room and says "Hey did you just come in?" I said about 10 minutes ago and he snarls that "we;re closed, that door was supposed to be locked and you need to leave now." I looked at him, at the 5 or 6 people sitting there drink coffee and said "excuse me?" He said "we are closed and I will not service you. You have to leave now..." I checked on the way out. Closing time was 10 minutes after I arrived.

So do you think it was the fact I changed into jeans and a workshirt rather than going in my seersucker suit? Or do you think it was the gray beard and the lack of boobs and little shorts like the young ladies sitting there drinking coffee? Or did I just look lower class and not fit to drink coffee with my social betters? Maybe I look too Texan to be polite too? Heck, I didn't even wear the diversity shirt.  Starbucks was quite happy to sell me a cup of coffee btw.
