A couple of us were walking around Madison Square Park on Sunday and we stopped to get something to drink from a food truck. There was a girl on the corner handing out Hint flavored water, but she said it was warm, so we passed that up and bought cold drinks from a store nearby.
We sat on a bench and drank and talked.
We were sitting across from Chelsea Clinton’s condo building. It’s a ritzy area, Jeff Bezos lives catty corner to Chelsea on the cross street.
And out came a guy from Chelsea’s building, I guess one of her neighbors. He saw the Hint water truck parked sort of out front and he said something to the doorman, who walked over to the truck. That’s it above.
We assumed he was going to complain about them being there and ask them to move along. But no, the doorman came back with two cases of free water. Not bottles — cases. The free samples.
The rich are different. Cheap, the rich are cheap.,
