There's a coffee cart man who has declared (via a sign on his cart) that he will not serve coffee to those reporting on the Lehman Brothers (ahem, WSJ). Now Dealbreaker has gone to the caffeine source, named Leon, to get the real deal on his declaration of solidarity. The coffee purveyor told them, "When they suffer I suffer," and that he "thinks the bankruptcy filing 'sucks, but what can you do?'" He also noted that "it's probably going to get worse," and said there were specific reporters he will continue to refuse to serve. There's also an aw-factor in the story, however, as the website gave him "a few hundred" dollars.





Another very informative post from Jen Carlson. Thank you.
this post is unreadable! my brain hurts
I saw a CNBC reporter doing a stand-up in front of this guy's cart Friday morning. Today, there are about 30 camera crews in front of the LB building. I can see why the guy would be getting tired of the media antics.
"For those reporting"? For those "what" reporting?
And which reporters will he continue to refuse to serve, and why?
And which website gave him a few hundred dollars?
Painful.
non story. true capitalists/reporters would bypass this guy and go to the next coffee cart up the block.
it's not like he's the only game in town.
but if it makes one feels good (for what, I don't know) knock yourself out.
