Cafe Conversations
Oh the joy of customer service. The other day I was getting my lunch fixed up and I had a tray of food and a cup of coffee. I was at the coffee bar putting the cream and sugar into my coffee. Mind you I had a hoodie on over my shirt and no name tag or apron on. This woman walks up to me at the condiment bar and said "Go get me a latte,"
WTF?
The only thing I could think of was she knew I worked there because there was nothing to signify that I was actually working at the time.
"Excuse me," I said not quite believing my ears.
"Get me a latte," she said again to me and I think she actually thought I would.
"She can help you over there at the register," I said pointing across the cafe to one of three employees actually working behind the counter.
The lady then gave me this odd look as if she couldn't comprehend what I was saying and said "But there are people there and I'd have to wait in line," in an incredulous voice.
"looks that way, doesn't it?" I said all innocently as I picked up my tray of food and coffee and headed to the break room.

I'm so glad I don't have to deal with customers anymore. Hold your head high, Vinnie.
I love your responses to these people. :)
Wish I could be there to see the expressions on their faces.
Well Glenn, like I told Amisare. . .it takes Valium and lots of it!
Janna. . .sometimes the look of confusion is so worth it!
Good grief...she so deserved a shin-kick. I'm still astounded that people speak in that manner to others. Up hers.....good for you...
I need to get some heavy boots to start applying the liberal shin kicks. Good idea.
