Pointless Pickiness
Me: “What can I get you?”
Customer: “I want coffee, but I don’t want any caffeine in it.”
Me: “So you want decaffeinated coffee?”
Customer: “No, I want regular coffee. I also want you to take the caffeine out of it.”
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but you’ll have to buy decaf if you don’t want any caffeine.”
Customer: “Just gimme that coffee, and make sure to take the caffeine out.”
(She turns her back for a moment to rummage through her purse. I pour her a cup of decaf anyway.)
Me: “Here you go, ma’am!”
Customer: “Did you take the caffeine out?”
Me: “Yep!”
