In Defiance Of The Alliance

(A customer calls me over to his table.)

Customer: “Do you use [popular American Brand] coffee?”

Me: “No, sir, we use [Local Brand].”

Customer: “But this is false advertising! You’re using [American Brand’s] logo! I only came here because I wanted [American Brand] coffee!”

Me: “Please show me where you read this.”

Customer: *still ranting, points at a logo on the menu*

Me: “That’s the Rainforest Alliance logo. It just means that our brand is part of the Rainforest Alliance.”

Customer: “Well… you shouldn’t be allowed to use the same picture.”
