Skim chai with a side of goat

So my colleague was right, as Christmas approaches, baby goats are turning up everywhere.

As we were enjoying our respective chai latte, espresso, and juice at Starbucks this morning, a Roma woman walked in carrying a very young goat.  She definitely wasn't there to buy coffee; she was going to carry the goat from table to table and exchange petting the goat for a little extra cash.

One of the Starbucks employees sprung into action, hustling the lady and her goat back outside.  I quite agree with his decision. But you know, as she went out through the door, I saw him slip her a little cash.  He didn't want to lose his job, but neither did he want to be cursed for the coming year!
