Picked At The Peaks Of Flavor
(I work as a server at a vegan cafe when a girl in her twenties walks in.)
Me: “Hello, what can I get for you?”
Customer: “Hi, I’ll have a coffee to start. One sugar, two cream.”
Me: “Sorry, we actually don’t have cream, but we use soy milk.”
Customer: “Uh, what? Soy milk? Like beans? You put beans in your coffee? That’s gross. Who would put beans in their coffee?”
Me: “Actually, it’s pretty good, and coffee is actually made of coffee beans, right?”
Customer: “Haha, could you imagine that? That would be soooo gross!”
Me: “Well, you could think of coffee beans like seeds, too. But anyway, is soy milk okay in your coffee?”
Customer: “Seeds?! Haha, imagine that! No, it’s just rich dirt.”
Me: “Uh, what’s ‘rich dirt’?’
Customer: “Coffee, duh! You know… the brown powder that they dig from mountains!”
