This little episode made me giggle. It happened this week in Belfast:
************************
A certain law firm in Belfast has its own little in-house cafe, which recently did a deal with Starbucks to stock its coffee.
A leading member of the law firm walked in and approached the counter.
LAWYER: Could I have a coffee please?
CAFE MANAGER: Yes, sure.
(Lawyer glances up and looks concerned)
LAWYER: Hang on, is it all Starbucks now?
CAFE MANAGER: Yes, exclusive deal and you get it much cheaper than normal.
LAWYER: Oh no, I can’t drink Starbucks coffee. I’m really against large corporations and I hate the whole globalisation thing.
(Lawyer goes off on a rant against big businesses)
CAFE MANAGER: Ummm, well that’s all we have.
LAWYER: Oh for God sake! Well, I’m not drinking it! Just give me a Coke.

Should I tell him?
