Money makes the world go round. Does it make your head go round too? I'm sure that the cashed-up middle class soccer mums who come in to me for coffee don't think money drives their existence, but when I look in their eyes, one after another, each of them breaking a $50 dollar note to pay for a $3.60 cup of coffee, I see differently. These people stroll round the city in a state of respectable, fashionable cleanliness, daydreaming of yachts and horse races. They chat about their mortgages and credit ratings with their best friends on their glittering mobile phones, and see the world in utter technicolour grandeur: pink and orange cosmetics, gold and silver Guess bags, green and blue AMEX cards. They mutter a coffee order, get pissed off with you for asking them to repeat it, and then won't look at you when they're handing over their money. You hand their coffee to them, and fifteen minutes later they will come back, complaining that the coffee is warm. We'll make it again, but drink it immediately this time, you plastic slab of filth. If you spend your time harassing hospitality workers for contributing to a momentary dip in the state of absolute fabulousness that is your life, then I can tell you're not thinking about Sudan, China, or Cambodia. And every time one of you rich sluts pays out a passing Aborigine I would love to remind you that its in their place that you're living the good life, and at their expense that you are rich.

It must have been quite an expensive operation, like their face. :D I'm in an angry mood right now, in case you can't tell :P Apr. 3
