The Depths of Absurdity

Today I discovered that the coffee carts no longer offer coffee at USC. The employee reported that they need a permit to sell coffee, and they didn't have one, yet they could sell Lattes, chips, Cafe Americano, Tea, apple fritters, and so forth. Apparently, they always needed a permit and had been operating without one all these years.

Imagine being the person who decided that they should no longer sell coffee at the coffee cart because of the permit. Imagine being the person who thinks there ought to be separate permits for sweet rolls, tea, and coffee.

Talk about a society trying to commit suicide...this is a form of pure bureaucratic evil.

they weren't selling tea this morning either. I was all "no tea? really?" and she was all, "nope".

imagine having to work the coffee stand all day and tell people (tell insane film students) that they can't have their coffee. that would suck.
