Turns out baristas don't actually know everything

Overheard behind the counter at a coffee shop on Walnut Street: "You know that 61C cafe over in Squirrel Hill? I thought that meant their coffee was sixty-one cents."

Once a year, it is! On their birthday, every one-shot drink or some such is 61c!

Hah! I'm just walking out the door to that other coffee shop now. I'll tell the guy behind the counter. When's their birthday?

Matthew at 61c says "uh... April or May first or fifth, one of those."

I remember it being well warm enough to be sitting outside, so probably May, if he's right (but I remember it being outright summer, not just late spring).
