Watching people at Starbucks

The alternative crowd

They only eat eggs from 'free' chickens and only drink the milk of happy cows. They usually have long hair with absolutely no product in at all and air dried. 
If they really hit it with the stereotype they are vegetarian and wear birkenstocks. The modern stereotype sports a kind of hippy/bohemian style with flowing skirts frolicking about in flower fields. 

They are aware of what's going on in the world fight against all the injustice in it. That ranges from baby whales and environmental issues to abortion, politics, modern slavery and poverty. 

They are disgusted by anything commercial and would rather take out their toe nails one by one, than buy their clothes at H&M. They take the bus, even though they could afford a car. They recycle the tiniest amount of garbage and their home is also home to at least 4 different coloured bins for different kinds of garbage. 

The bands they listen to have never and will never make it on a top 40 radio station's playlist. And if they do, they will stop listening to them out of protest. 

They will sit at starbucks and sip their grande mocha cappuccino in a comfy chair, while listening to their ipod, thinking how they like to be different and how commercialised living is just not for them.

At all.

I silently smile sitting next to them sipping on my tall cafe Americano in a grande cup. Yeah, all commercial stuff is bad... Right!
