I walked into one of those joints once, which was featuring Tanzanian Aa, which is a dark, rich bean, and one i happen to like, because it is the coffee most like Columbian which is not actually Columbian that i've ever tasted. So i said, give me a Tanza-NEE-an Aa. He went to get my coffee, but before he would give it to me, he corrected my pronunciation and said it is pronounced Tan-ZAY-nian. I politely told him he is wrong, and asked him to give me the coffee. He still wouldn't give it to me, and insisted on his pronunciation. (Any joker here who wants to argue the point,
can go to this page, linked from the World Factbook page on the government of Tanzania.) So i told him, OK, whatever you say. He pushed my coffee at me, i paid, then i threw it down the front of his smock, told him: It's Tanza-NEE-an, @sshole, left a good tip, and left. It's a meeting place for pretentious f*cks, and it employs pretentious f*cks. I was once walking by a Starbucks, and an employee was outside having a smoke, and talking to a friend about his "career track" as a "barrista." Oh fer christsake . . .
