Mr. Pickle and Mr. Peet
by Steven Gowin
We got a sandwich at Mr. Pickle's, but they cut the sandwich in the plastic. Plastic wrap. I got plastic in my sandwich, so I say don't cut the sandwich that way. My wife already got plastic in her sandwich. Twice. Don't cut sandwiches in plastic.
Pickle's got no coffee, no drinkable coffee. Best coffee is home. Best ever. You drip the cone. Never the same at Peet's. I'm telling you. I'm here, but best is when you make the coffee at home in the cone. You know what I'm saying. You know? Cone for coffee.

It's hard to find good help, good service and good coffee these days.
But we continue to go back.*

Enjoyed this!
Oh whoa. First silent film I've ever seen. Didn't even know those are on Youtube.
Made me think of Russell Edson. "Pickle's got no coffee, no drinkable coffee. Best coffee is home. Best ever. You drip the cone." Nice. I like it, Steve.
Not in the plastic! Noooooo!!!!!
Somewhere in the SGV, there is a jalapeno with a sombrero and mustache. No coffee. The two must meet.
