Never Too Old For The O
I am making a drink for a white-haired, little old lady customer. I am a twenty-two-year-old male barista. Though she is always nice enough, she is very chatty with baristas. Today, she has gotten a very particular drink.
Me: “Wow, you have got one heck of a drink today.”
Customer: “Well, you see, I got my free reward drink today, so I ordered my special one.”
Me: *Laughs* “I’ll make sure to give it its proper attention.”
Customer: “I am sure that you’ll make it just fine.”
After a bit more talking, I hand off her drink and she walks off.
Customer: “Oooh!”
The customer quickly walks back and leans over the counter, and I am prepared to remake the drink for some mistake.
Customer: “I just wanted you to know this drink is nearly orgasmic!”
I am taken aback and can think of nothing to say; I just laugh and stammer.
Customer: “But I shouldn’t say something like in public, now, should I?”
The customer then left as my wide-eyed coworker started laughing at me.
