Has A Problem Espresso-ing Themselves, Part 5
(I’m deaf in one ear, and what makes it worse at this time is that I have an ear infection. This makes it extremely difficult to take customer’s drinks correctly, especially if they are saying them very fast. I have only asked this customer once to repeat what the milk and syrup were.)
Customer: “Why do they have the least experienced person taking orders? How many times do I have to repeat myself?!”
Me: “I apologize, ma’am; I’m hearing impaired. I was only asking once again to make sure I charged you correctly and that your drink won’t be made wrong.”
Customer: *flustered* “Well, then you should have to wear a sign or something to let people know that you can’t hear.”
(The next customer in the queue chimes decides to chime in.)
Next Customer: “Yeah, because the poor girl probably doesn’t feel embarrassed enough about having you yell at her and having to put up with a**holes like you.”
Customer: “Excuse me?! How dare you! Forget my drink! I’ll just go somewhere else!”
(The customer storms out.)
Next Customer: “Wow, I’m so sorry about that. Do people normally act like that here?”
Me: “She’s a regular…”
