First Person / Christmas in February: Movie stars invaded our coffee shop and made it snow

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: I’m sitting with my wife at Make Your Mark coffeehouse, on Reynolds Street in Point Breeze, watching a line of 24 Santas being disgorged from a school bus. They stand in line, snaking to the corner from the Three Rivers Community Partnership storefront across the street. Right in front of the cafe window sit three blue tables, stacked with hand bells.

This article is hilarious! I personally have never experienced what it was like when I was relaxing in a coffee shop and then suddenly a whole movie set showed up to film a few scenes for that day. But that would definitely be an interesting experience. Yes you are being intruded on your productive work. But you chose to work at a coffee shop that later was going to be used for a movie set. And it was probably in their schedule, but you were unaware of that. Yes you have to option to leave and continue your work somewhere else, or you can be a part of the movie set that's about to be filmed and that seems pretty fun. Also, this reminds me of a time when I was in a coffee shop studying for a test and then there was a rush hour where 20 people came in at one time and the coffee shop was packed. It was very difficult to continue my work in this environment.
