Cafe Conversations

Whoo, when they happen at this new store they really happen. I have to admit that I do not miss the daily drama at the old store but there are some doozies at the new store. I received a phone call and it was an older man
Me: Cafe, how can I help you
Man: I have a tummy ache (okay, what adult man says tummy?)
Me: Okay
Man: I had a cup of coffee at your store yesterday and now I have a tummy ache
Me: What kind of coffee did you have? A latte or a regular cup of coffee
Man: Just coffee (he said vehemently). What are you going to do about it?
Me: (as he is talking I'm in the computer looking up coffee sales for the previous day) well sir, we did sell 325 cups of coffee yesterday and this is the first complaint I have had about an upset stomach. Did you eat anything else somewhere first?
Man: No, I don't eat out no more especially with my ulcer
Me: You do know you shouldn't drink coffee with an ulcer don't you
Man: Don't tell me what to do, it was your coffee hurting me today

At that point I realized he was either a)crazy or b)out to get something for free. Thank God for the 1-800 line that we have to direct these idiots to call. I would like all of you there to offer up a little prayer, or well wish, or good karma, or whatever to the good folks who work the 1-800 complaint lines. These people must have nerves of steel to deal with jerks all day (especially around the holidays).

Oh, and I got my first "I'm gonna sue you for false advertising" threat of the season yesterday too because I would not take somebodies Starbucks card. Woo-Hoo! It isn't Christmas until you get threatened with a lawsuit.
