I’ve been in New York for a while now and I’ve noticed one thing.
Everyone is always pissed off, including me. And when someone is
unusually nice, it kind of throws you off.
For example, many mornings I’ll stop and get an iced coffee from a
street vendor right outside the apartment I’m staying at right now.
The coffee guy, with an unshaven, rugged face, always seems to be in
an overly good mood, saying “Have a good day” and smiling way too
much. Its 8AM on a Monday morning on Wall St, so its not as if this
is the happiest place to be, but there he is grinning from ear to ear.
I’m not sure if I should appreciate the friendliness, or stop ordering
Vanilla in my coffee.
