Adoring The Ignoring

I work in a drive-through, I’m sometimes having to tell people at the speaker that “I won’t be a moment, sorry!”, and 75% of the time I’ll hear them starting to tell me their order.

So… I ignore them. And their little “hellos” afterward to check I’ve heard them.

Me: *Getting back to them.* “Thanks for your patience, what can I get for you?”

Customer: *Having the audacity to get mad.* “I said, I want a large cappuccino with almond milk?! Weren’t you listening?!”

Me: “No, sir, I was serving the customer at my cashier window. I did say I won’t be a moment. Weren’t you listening?!”
