We’d originally relegated this story to the Daily Links post, but it’s too good not to have its own post…Apparently one of the owners of the popular coffee spot Gorilla Coffee at 97 Fifth Avenue in Park Slope rubbed the employees the wrong way so they all banded together and quit en masse, throwing the Park Slope ecosystem into disequilibrium. Evidently there are all sorts of signs posted out front with a running he-said-she-said account of the problem. From a reader: “My husband said there was line outside the door of people just freaking out and totally in crisis over the lack of coffee. I have a feeling he was one of them because I was on the other line when he called to tell me this, and he told my secretary that it was an emergency.” We also hear that Gorilla addicts have been depleting supplies at neighboring stores to ride out the current crisis. We’d be mighty appreciative if someone could send in some photos of the storefront and posted screeds…

A nice frottage moment on the subway in the morning will make your day.
It’s part of the Tokyo commute – I think of those days every time I hear the recorded announcement — crowded subway conditions are no excuse for unlawful sexual contact… anything goes for the men there as long as you pretend it’s not happening.
Oh thanks DIBS, now my IT department has a record of my doing a google search for frottage.
Dona,
You know I luvya but you are soooo latte to the party re: “grind”. You’ve missed the endless drip of puns, the condescension towards baristas percolating just below the humor, everyone espressing their own opinions on the walkout, lots of banter back and froth about the whole deal.
oohh…I am so out of it. Must be my cold…that’s what happens when people cough on you — and you’re the coffee.

I suppose I have no idea times it has happened near me on teh subway and I haven’t noticed it.
yeah, lechacal, that whole coffee discussion was getting to be a grind…
