Well, that was bizarre. Dressed in a crisp white button-down shirt and in blueish shorts I journeyed to my local Starbucks this morning. Right before I could enter, 12 sorority sisters dressed in crisp white button-down shirts and very similar patterned shorts cut in front and pushed their way into the store. All of them blonde, like some kind of team. So Im trailing them into the Starbucks uncomfortably aware that I look like Im associated with them in some way...which impression is only confirmed by the very odd looks the Starbucks staff are giving me. Then the women congregate in front of the food counter, unsure what they want and I stand there for a second...and another second...and even longer, while the Starbucks guy is looking at me like somehow Im paying for whatever they get...then I ask them politely, Do you know what you want yet? At which question, I kid you not, no less than half of them turn and say just about in unison and with the same exact phrasing, Oh, no--you go on ahead. Disconcerted, I ordered and left as soon as I humanly could, convinced that there was more going on below the surface than I could possibly understand. And that it was not in my best interests to inquire further.
