Five Coffee Ring (Stains)
Coffee Shop | Right
| December 17, 2015
(I work in a cafe that is part of a club that also has restaurants and bars. People often come in for dinner and coffee, and then stick around for some drinks. It is just before Christmas, and two customers come to my counter looking very excited.)
Me: “Hi, welcome to [Club]! What can I get for you today?”
Customer #1: “Hi, I’d like to order two cappuccinos, four hot chocolates, and three flat—”
Customer #2: *very excitedly* “And a partridge in a pear tree!”
(Both of them pause, looking at me expectantly.)
Customer #1: “…I think we did that wrong.”
Customer #2: “And we’re not even drunk yet!”
