Coffee Talk

So yesterday I walked into Caribou Coffee in Glenview, I pretty much go to the same place everyday, it's tough having an addiction. They have been running a promotion on coffee all week, buy one pound and get a free drink. They haven't been selling much, so yesterday they took some drastic measures. Posted above the usual sale sign was a handwritten note, by the guy who works there (who incidentally reminds me of Reed??) the sign reads;

For every person who doesn't buy a pound of coffee, God kills a kitten. Buy some coffee, think about the kittens!

I found this sign to be hilarious! I mean laugh out loud funny. However the fine upstanding citizens of Glenview did not. A lady walked in behind me with a 3 yr old little girl, read the sign and said, "That's disgusting! Take that down, it's distasteful!" The Reed-esque worker promptly removed the sign.

That visual provided me with a little nugget of comedy all day.

I have heard that before and I was REALLY hoping someone wouldn't go there! Thanks for being "that guy"
