Some well-meaning twenty-nothings and ancient thirty-somethings box each other out for the seat by the sink under the bar - the place in front of where the bartender has to bend over. All because her fucking barback doesn’t show up until 7.

There's a pizza place I go to that plays the same dozen mid-late 80s hits on a loop all day long
