Cleary Squared goes to the new Staples in Roslindale Square, reports that if it wants to retain any customers on the weekends, it's going to have to instill some pride in the sullen, put-upon teens apparently running the place on Saturdays and Sundays.

Dan Miller reports he only goes to the School Street Starbucks because he needs his morning coffee, not because he enjoys "being held hostage by the designated drink maker, who thinks he's Tom Cruise in 'Cocktail.'"

Boston Police report Downtown Crossing traffic came to a complete standstill around 1:30 yesterday afternoon due to a man walking down School Street with no clothes on.

An officer quickly determined the man met the current Massachusetts guidelines for arrest by noticing the "shock and alarm" on the faces of bystanders, who, police say, did not expect to see a nudie boy "at this time of day."

The officer walked in the direction that he was pointed in and observed the suspect walking on the sidewalk on School St. toward Tremont St. completely naked and waving his arms as onlookers stared in amazement.

The officer approached the suspect and attempted to place him under arrest when he became combative and struggled with the officer before he was placed in handcuffs. During the entire incident, traffic was in gridlock and there were hundreds of people who witnessed the suspect and his actions.

Aaron Boutte, 28, of Revere, was charged with open and gross lewdness.
