Overheard in Starbucks, Hunter's Square:
American Woman: "Do you take British Pounds?"
Barrista: "Errr, yes?"
(pause)
B: "Hang on, do you mean British Pounds or Irish Punds?"
(American Woman looks at Barrista as if he is insane)
AW: "English Pounds"
B: "Then, yes. Yes, we do."
(American Woman goes on to order, amongst other things, an expresso...)
B: "So, how long have you been in
AW: "Since yesterday."
(American Woman is buying a mug and Barrista is wrapping it)
B: "Where are you staying?"
(American Woman sounds terrified)
AW: "Why do you want to know!?"
B: "Um, just making small talk?”
