Has No Problem Espresso-ing Himself, Part 4
I work in a coffee shop in an affluent area. As a result, a lot of the customers are in economic brackets most of us workers can only dream of. I’m bringing two espressos over to a table with a couple of guys.
Customer: “Hmm, this espresso is okay, but they’re better in Italy. When was the last time you went there? You should have taken note of how they do it over there.”
Me: “Uhm…”
Customer’s Friend: “She’s making minimum wage in a coffee shop, I don’t think she’s making regular espresso research runs to Italy.”
Customer: “Why not? What’s an economy flight to Italy these days, like a thousand bucks? That’s nothing.”
Customer’s Friend: *To me.* “I’m so sorry about him. He doesn’t always know when he’s being a total s***.”
Me: “That’s… okay?”
I leave them to their discussion, and overhear:
Customer: “What’s the matter?”
Customer’s Friend: “A thousand dollars is probably what she makes in a month!”
Customer: “Yes but she gets free coffee!”
I stopped listening after that… probably for the best.
