Oh, and I hear you on the Gap thing. Since Steve and Zack and Marc (and Mike, too, before he packed up and moved to D.C.) all work at Starbuck's, hanging out with them has added a whole new element of conversation. In order to understand what the hell they're talking about, you have to be fluent in Starbucks-ese. We'll be sitting around and Steve will be like, "So this guy came in and was a total dick to Eileen, so I made his latte with a 17-second shot!" in a manner that clearly indicates that he has done something nefarious and frankly bad-ass. This causes the other boys to laugh maniacally, and suddenly, a wave of stories begins, all around the theme of getting revenge on rotten customers via improperly-timed espresso shots. I don't get it.
