So, I’m at Le Labo Café in Williamsburg, just chilling with this dog named Obi, right?
I order a cold brew—no big deal.
Barista asks, “You want any milk with that?”
I’m like, “Yeah, just regular milk.”
She looks at me like I just asked for a steak at a vegan spot. “We don’t have regular milk,” she says.
I lived in Williamsburg for a while, so I should’ve seen this coming.

I’m just gonna go up to a woman who works here and ask what she would like for a guy. So I ask her, and she’s like, “yeah, I definitely wouldn’t know.” So I’m like, ok, I guess she’s a lesbian? Or that’s what she’s maybe implying? Which is obviously fine, but on the other hand, I’m like, you do work here? And you have zero sales pitch for dudes?? Cool. She kind of half-heartedly picks one, with a sort of dismissive attitude. Like, let’s just get this over with. And guys, this shit is like, $90. As lotion goes, not cheap.
