Cafe Conversations
The cafe opens up an hour earlier than the rest of the store in my location. We have a separate door and a sign stating that the cafe opens at 8 a.m. Occasionally the opening store manager will leave the front door open so employees can get in or whatnot. The other day I was setting up and it was probably 7:40 or 7:50. This woman comes barging in and asks, quite loudly, "are you open?" in that really snotty way that actually means you better be open or I'm going to raise some hell.
I was actually in a decent mood that morning so I said "The cafe opens at 8, but if you give me one second I can help you out."
At that point she gave me a really confused look and I couldn't figure out what was up until she said "Well the sign says nine, but your door is open."
Okay. . .if the sign says 9 and it is 7:50 then all I could think of was WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING THE DOOR THEN? Odds are if the sign says nine (which the sign by the door she came in at said) then the store probably won't be open. I don't know, call me crazy but it is that whole "reading to comprehend" thing.

In response to a past cafe conversation, when we were in Vegas, I got really pissed that the Starbucks would not take a Starbucks card. I asked if they were a real Starbucks, or if they just served Starbucks coffee, (did not want to be like your customer). They were in fact a corporate Starbucks. They just, for some reason, did not take their own card.
