Cafe Conversations

Ah yes, delightful Wednesday where I get to share the joys of the Barista life with you. This one actually happened to me this week. Two ladies in their late 60's come up and order two vanilla lattes. I make the lattes, give the lattes over, ring up the ladies, take their money, then give change to them. Five minutes later the bitchier one is back.
Lady: How much were those two lattes?

Me: (Thinking to myself look at the freaking receipt in your hand) They were $3.20 each, so $6.40 for both.

Lady: The coffee shop down the street only charges $3. You are charging me almost $7 for two lattes.

Me: If you don't want them I can give you your money back

Lady: I want them, but I want a discount. You should be ashamed of yourself

Me: (blank look trying to figure out what I am supposed to be ashamed about)

Lady: Well aren't you?

Me: Not particularly, no

Lady: (Stomping off and muttering to herself) horrible, terrible, aweful people. They should be ashamed, just ashamed.

WTF?

if she walked into my store today
I'd have to say something like
"why don't you pull that broom outta your twat and fly off on it, bitch"
but that's just me
in a bad mood, like I said...
