It’s a Drive-THRU not Drive-INTO Starbucks

On our Sunday excursion yesterday, which included brunch, a walk through Lincoln Square, and then a stop at Borders for the new Star Wars book, of course, we saw the most amazing thing. As Brian and I neared the little strip mall where the Borders is located, we saw a few squad cars at the Starbucks that’s on the corner of the entryway.

As we made a right turn into the parking lot and drove slowly past the coffee shop, would you believe it? There was a car inside the frickin’ Starbucks! That’s right — INSIDE of it! The outdoor seating — well, there wasn’t any, and the glass next to the patio was gone. I mean, completely gone! The outdoor tables, the Starbucks window, and, in fact, many of the indoor tables and chairs were gone. In their place was a frickin’ CAR! I mean, WTF?!

We didn’t see the accident take place, but I swear, I am not making this shit up. You can read about it on NBC5.com under “Four Injured When Car Smashes Into Starbucks.” I’m not bothering with the direct link because it’ll eventually be archived and, therefore, dead. The article doesn’t say much, but we also saw a segment about it on the news last night, and get this: the driver had no insurance!!!!! Can you believe that?! Obviously, we didn’t see Allstate spokesman, Dennis Haysbert, there talking about any accident forgiveness for this.
