The Most Brazen Camper
Anyone who claims that Times Square has lost its sleazy feel ever since Guiliani cleaned it up and replaced it with a theme park in the 1990s can still find a modicum of old-school sketchiness at the 24 Starbucks near the Port Authority at 2am. Here you can still find a gaggle of homeless, tourists who don't have a place to stay for the night, and people you would normally find sleeping at a bus station, were it not for the fact that Port Authority requires a ticket to enter the station at that time of night. The worst of the evening, however, was not the homeless or the would-be bus-station campers. It was one of the yuppies.
Why did I go to Starbucks? Well, I needed to get coffee and check my e-mail while waiting for my 3:30am bus to leave for Boston. Other people seemed to have the same idea in mind, as there were a few other people with laptops jockeying for an electrical outlet to plug in to. I'm never one to criticize someone for hanging out all day at a coffee shop as an excuse to work on your laptop or maybe even make a few cell phone calls. Heck, I've done it myself at places like the Dolores Park Café while travelling in California. But this guy was just over-the-top brazen:
Yes, as you can see, he set up a desktop computer at Starbucks and worked there. Next, perhaps out of boredom or figuring, "hey, it's 2 AM!" he started playing mp3s from his computer speakers entertaining us with his mediocre taste in music.
To his credit, however, he let other laptop owners use his power strip.
