The Hotel- Stirred and Fried
Ep. 6 Joe had run the All-Nite Chineze Buffet for the last 20 years. He bought it from some weird guy who had opened it at least 30 years before that. He didn’t know if he was Chinese, Japanese, or some other ‘nese’, but his accent never senses seemed to stay the same. Joe himself…

Not a Latte to go on
“Latte for Joe!” WTF. I wanted a large tea. To go. How can they be so stupid? Looking at him, I reply, “No, I want a LARGE TEA TOGO!” The barista stood behind the counter, some college kid who has never understood the troubles of wanting one cup of coffee, but knowing you will only…
