Grounded Coffee Featured in Daily Show Segment!

Although I usually don't watch much television, The Daily Show is one program I try to watch regularly. Last week, during a segment on open-carrying rights, I noticed a familiar place. Daily Show correspondent Wyatt Cenac went into Grounded in the West Village strapped with (presumably fake) guns to order his tea. The clip in general is funny, and also great to see one of my favorite coffee shops!

Gorilla Coffee Workers Walk Out




The employees at Gorilla Coffee in Park Slope have all walked out due to what they describe as a "perpetually malicious, hostile, and demeaning work environment." I have never been to Gorilla Coffee, but this is pretty big news that goes beyond just coffee. The New York Times has even covered the incident. Read the New York Times article here, where you can also read the employees statements.
