In The Name Of Order
My name is a very traditional Irish name, and a pain if I’m honest. I’ve had a life of people mispronouncing it and struggling to fill in forms. I normally go by my nickname for anything not official.
I’ve ordered a coffee and sit down waiting for it to be made. It’s pretty busy so it’s a fair wait.
I‘m waiting for my coffee, someone with the same order as mine gets called out.
Customer: “That’s mine.” *He collects his order.* “You forgot the cream.”
Worker: “This one specifically states no cream.”
Customer: “This is ridiculous, and you have the wrong flavour, and is this even a large?”
Worker: “Is your name [My Name]?
Customer: “Well, no, but that’s my order.”
Me: “I’m sorry, I think that’s my order. Is it for [My Name]?”
Worker: “Er, yes? Probably. Sorry if I messed it up.”
Me: “Hey, no worries, to be honest, I rarely even use it.”
The man is stood way too close to me, arms folded.
Me: “Oh, and the coffee is perfect, thank you.”
