Not Quite The Cream Of The Crop, Part 8
I work at a fast-food donut place.
Customer: “Black coffee.”
Easiest order ever. I give it to him, and he goes to the cream counter, puts cream in his coffee, then comes back.
Customer: “My coffee isn’t black.”
Me: “You just put cream in it.”
Customer: “When I order black coffee, I expect it to stay black.”
Me: “Then don’t add cream to it.”
Customer: “The cream isn’t the issue. You didn’t make true black coffee! If you did it would stay black!”
Me: “Cream will always lighten a coffee. I can’t change that.”
Customer: “I’ve had it here before! I had black coffee with cream! You’re not making it right!”
Me: “Black coffee is just coffee in water. There’s nothing special about it; it is chemically impossible to put cream in black coffee and keep it black.”
Customer: “This is what I get for coming to a donut place for coffee! I’m going to a real coffee place next time where they don’t need no chemicalists!” *Storms out.*
