It's the most blunderful time of the year...

"I'll have a venti soy eggnog latte."

No, you won't.

"I'd like a caramel malt swirl Frappuccino."

Gee, if we hadn't discontinued malt powder a year ago, and if we were Dunkin' Donuts...

"Oh, I thought these chocolate chip cookies were shrink-wrapped. Well, how will they stay fresh for Christmas?"

Leave them on the porch in a snow fort? I dunno.

"I need a pound of House Blend coffee ground for a whole bean."

Je ne parle pas Escargot.

"Laaahge iced coffee, extra-extra."

Dude, no, you mistake me, Dunkin' Donuts is across the highway and on the left.

"I need a raspberry white mocha with a pump of peppermint, and chocolate sprinkles, and raspberry sauce."

*blinkety*

"This cappuccino doesn't have chocolate in it."

Yay! I have performed my little hamster task to standard, and made your drink correctly.


And so on...

One of these days, you'll assemble all of these barista stories and publish them as a snarky but clever little book under a pseudonym so that Starbucks doesn't sic its legal beagles on you. The book will make you semi-famous and earn you a sum tidy enough that you'll be able to be a full time writer (isn't that what you want?).

anyhow Seasons Greetings from a semi-random stranger :)

Don't get me started on people who don't know what a cappuccino is.

People who do their holiday shopping early enough to worry about stale baked goods make me itch. It's isn't proper shopping unless it occurs on the last weekend before Christmas and there are scuff marks on your leather goods that weren't there before.

Heh. Customer service sucks, and I admire all people who are good at it. I hate the way you keep talking about good coffee. I about to go over and get a "cappucino" that comes out of a frightening machine. I'm not sure it's actually coffee, but I'm reasonably sure it has cafeinne in it, so that's a start anyway.

That sounds just like school coffee -- I think they're trying to trick us with the idea that it smells, and it's brown, and most of the time it's hot, so it must be coffee.
