Portland’s Shannon Wheeler responds to Portlandia
Skip to comments
Shannon Wheeler, creator of Too Much Coffee Man, responds to the sketch-comedy show “Portlandia” – a parody of the people of Portland, OR on the New Yorker’s Cartoon Bank Blog. Shannon currently lives in Portland.
My barista is ignoring me. He has his reasons. He wants me to see that his service industry job is beneath him. His tattoos indicate he likes ironically evil versions of 1970s cartoon characters. He’s cooler than me, and he lets me know it. I deserve to be treated badly. Even tipping heavily doesn’t stop me from feeling guilty for participating in this capitalist system and its incessant need for money. It’s rumored that there’s a barter-based coffee shop down the street, but it hasn’t opened yet. They’re having labor issues.
