Pigeon-watching from the 60 Thompson hotel lobby

 



At the check-in at the 60 Thompson, a Post-it note on the computer monitor reminds the staff to SMILE. Which they didn't do. Because showing any emotion outside of indifference is uncool. Just ask the host at the hotel bar with the wallet chain. Then ask him when was the last time he used the muscles on his face. If he removes his faceplate to show you he's really a robot, ask him if wishes he was human.
