Dear Uptight Seattlite

I should send this into the Stranger (or is it the Seattle Weekly) to have them go over this for real:

Dear Uptight Seattlite:

Every month I go up to Capitol Hill to get myself the roasted coffee that I prefer. There are only two places I have found that sell my favored brand: one is a local organic co-op staffed with hippies struggling to survive against the onslaught of Whole Foods and Safeway. the other is a local coffeeshop staffed by goths struggling to survive against the likes of Starbucks.

Which one of these deserves my money more?

The totally pragmatic answer is go for whichever is more convenient, has a better price, and offers better eye-candy. As long as you chose one or the other, some real person will benefit. Ideally, it would be nice if both can survive so that there will always be a choice.

(I tend to prefer hippies overall, but I agree with you on the lip piercing. For me, those things distract in an unpleasant way.)
