ABC: Always Be Closing or Alec Baldwin Complaining?

The "30 Rock" star takes his coffee complaints to Twitter

September 8, 2011 at 8:09PM

Mr. Schweddy Balls himself is making news for sharing his coffee barista complaints on Twitter (See Sept. 7). Maybe it just gives us an excuse to post video of one of our favorite movie scenes, but Baldwin's off-the-cuff comments have been newsworthy before. But Baldwin himself should know: Coffee is closers, not complainers.

(In case you aren't familiar with "Glengarry Glen Ross," the movie that provides the scene, it is David Mamet, so the language is strong. Probably as strong as the coffee.)
