Coffee Novels
I’m trying to pick a harmless peeve today since it’s Christmas Eve and I don’t want to damper anyone’s mood.
So my peeve today is people who take about 23 words to order a coffee, like this:
I’ll have a tall non-fat, half-caf bold with 2 Splendas extra whipped cream 3 pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup done at 160 degrees.
And then they get pissed if the poor order-taker doesn’t get it the first time.
Dear Sweet Baby Jesus!
Here’s how I order: “Venti mocha.” And they make it just like that. I went to a place once that wanted me to make too many decisions (what kind of milk? whipped cream or not?). I didn’t go back.
