Unfiltered Story #143659

(After serving a customer a chai latte, my shift supervisor and I spend several minutes waiting for more customers to come in when the young woman returns to the counter.)

Customer: Excuse me, my drink’s gone cold. Could you warm it up for me?

Me: Sure. (Turns to place the drink in the microwave.)

Customer: Can’t you steam it?

Me (bewildered at such a request): No, I can’t do that.

Customer: Why not?!

Me: Because you already drank from this. I can’t steam a used drink – that’s a health code violation.

(After I finish reheating the customer’s drink, she takes it, flips us off, and walks away.)
