Star-bucking the trend

I just discovered the ING café on 49th Street, not far from my office. I'm used to being raped at Starbucks, to the point where I actually kind of miss it. For starters, when I gave the cashier a fiver, she gave me something I have never gotten from any Starbucks anywhere: change. They also charge the same for a large as they do for a medium. And you don't have to speak Starbucks fluently (as in 'grande' or 'venti'.) They understand me and even smile when I say crazy things like 'small' or 'medium.' There may yet be hope for the human race.
