Hashtag Hot

Customer: “The drinks on your menu listed under ‘Hot’, that means they’re hot, right?”

Me: “Uh… yes.”

Customer: “I mean, like hot as in “ouch that’s hot”, not “oh wow, they’re so hot right now”.”

Me: “It’s referring to temperature, not popularity.”

Customer: “Well, everything is an online trend right now, so I wasn’t sure.”

Me: *Looking at the menu.* “Well, unless a simple hot Americano is trending on TikTok right now for some reason, it only means temperature.”
