An Ocean tip: where to find the free stuff

A conversation with a chatty barista:

Everyone is in such a good mood! Beautiful outside, isn’t it? [leans out of drive-up window, inhales with pleasure – I wish my car fumes weren’t so in his face…]
Don’t you have people grumbling about taxes?

Took forever this year! I couldn’t believe it! Last year it was so easy!
You’re telling me…

You know, I don’t know if you remember about the Boston Tea Party? [how old do I look anyway??] Well, we’re offering tea free today – our calming brew. You know – taxes, tea, get it?
I get it.

But no one has taken us up on it yet. All day! Free calming tea!
I’ll spread the word. I still need to stay tense, however. A few more forms to go over…

Here’s your latte! I hope you have a splendid week-end!
Yes, well, sure, me too. I mean you too.
