Cafe Conversations
What is it about seasonal changes that makes people stupid? It was a very slow day at work today except for the fifteen minutes when we had a full line of the most confused and irritating people on Earth. One woman was getting all belligerent because we did NOT have a tip cup. She took a small cup, wrote tips on it and then put it on the counter. After thanking her for the thought I told her we weren't allowed to have one and we could get into serious trouble for it (okay, probably not but it is highly frowned on).
Lady: "Well, I'm the customer and I'm right so leave it there,"
Whatever, as soon as she left the line that little cup went right into the trash. Thanks for the thought but work on the attitude a bit.
The next lady ordered a Frappuccino extra hot. I had to inform her that those are cold drinks similar to a coffee milkshake.
Lady #2: That's great, that is exactly what I want, just extra hot (because why would you listen to the person who knows what he is talking about? Just make up whatever shit you want lady then get pissed when it is physically impossible to do)
Me: Well, we can't do those extra hot, they are cold. They are like milkshakes, frozen with ice and coffee. Do you want a cafe mocha extra hot?
Lady: NO, I want a frappuccino extra hot.
Me: Then you don't want a frappuccino. Those are cold. You want a mocha.
Lady: No, you aren't listening to me. Give me an extra hot mocha frappuccino.
Me: fine
She got an extra hot cafe mocha. I wasn't gonna argue with her anymore about silly things like what something is called.
UGH! Sometimes I realize why people become alcoholics!

These never fail to make me laugh...cry...laugh...and then cry some more.
Ever think about gettng another job?
Did the lady who created the tip cup leave a tip, or just the cup?
OH Steven, trust me. . .I know how you feel. Try living it.
Well Gregg, I am working on that. The whole reason I took this job is because they have an awesome tuition reimbursement program so I am working on a non fine arts degree.
Oh yeah, she left a quarter in her faux tip cup.
It also explains why so many dead bodies are found gripping Starbucks cups.
Hey coffee man, I tagged you for a meme. It's simple and short. Enjoy.
Gotcha Amisare, I'm on my way.
