Cafe Conversations

It has been awhile since I have had one of these. Quite honestly the people in my new neighborhood are more mentally balanced than in the old burb but we still get a few here and there. For instance. . .
A lady comes into our cafe (We are a major national book retailer that serves the #1 coffee in America. . .you figure it out) and orders a small coffee. The new kid does what he is supposed to do and holds up the next size cup and tells her the next size is just 20 cents more. The lady slams her Donald Trump book (yes she was actually buying a book by the Donald) and says "You are such a corporate tool, did you know that?"
I was finishing up a drink for someone else but I heard that and I could not help myself, I just let out a huge guffaw of laughter. It just burst out of me as I looked at her. Who did she think she was kidding? Like any of us thought she was on a mission to save America from the "corporations" shopping in our store.

The next one happened two days later. We sell member cards that people can use to get a discount at any of our hundreds of stores (or online). One of the girls was offering it to a guy in his fifties and he refused on account of "the government tracks your purchases with those cards. I bet you didn't know that?". Okay, whatever, that would have made sense if he didn't then pay for his $1.85 coffee with credit card.
