the stand up table by the loading dock door

The front room of the old pressing plant, where the record sleeves used to get boxed. Now it is a long concrete bar, the two grinders, a turntable that takes requests and a crate of used records by the register. The roaster is through the window in the back. On Mondays and Thursdays you can hear it.
