  1. #HealthyHeart, in which fatties will get an honest discussion on the dangers of obesity as they are “encouraged” to order nonfat milk and sugar-free syrup with their Frappucinos (ordering whipped cream will get them a punch in the face, because let’s face it, with some people, force is the only way to encourage healthy habits). (I am one of those people. Writers of “yo mama so fat” jokes look at me and say, “Whoa. Wow. I got nuthin’.”)

  2. …will be free-form political comedy by Our Barristas, performed for free, hot beverages for all customers present.

    The only catch to get the beverage is that you honestly have to ‘like’ what they presented……
    …….and no heaving, gagging, or snide comments are permitted.

  3. ” #White Privilege” Where your Obamarista, who has a college degree in some useless liberal arts major, opens a frank discussion about how the Starbucks kind of people are hurting America. This may actually “bomb” (“succeed”) bigger than “Race Together” did.

  4. #Pay It Forward…in which they convince you to pay for the next customers’ coffee, yet they don’t tell the next customer and then convince THEM to pay for the next customers’ coffee…and, well, they made us all feel good didn’t they?

  5. Just an aside…remember when it considered impolite to ask someone about his or her political views. Once upon a time, not so long ago, there were certain topics that well-mannered people simply did not discuss with strangers or even mere acquaintances. Chief among these were income, politics, and religion.

    The primary reason for these things were not discussed wasn’t because the topics were divisive. The reason they weren’t discussed was two-fold: 1) whether someone else made more or less money than you, whether or not they were of you faith (or any faith), or how they voted should have no bearing on how you treat your fellow citizen; 2) It was none of your damn business.

    Eventually, after you got to know someone, you’d learn these things. By that time you’d have already decided whether or not they were a good person, whether they were likeable or trustworthy – and those judgments were made solely on your interactions with them as a person not on any prejudices you might have against some group they might belong to.

    Good times. Long gone it seems.
