(A customer walks in. She is a regular so I know her order.)
Me: “Good morning. What can I do for you?”
Customer: “Hey. Uh…”
Me: “Did you want your latte?”
Customer: *shocked* “You know I want a latte? Yeah. I do.”
Me: “Large, two-shot soy latte, with sugar-free almond, right?”
Customer: *more shocked* “What do I get? Do you have soy?”
Me: “Yes.”
Customer: “I only want two shots. With soy.”
Me: “Right, yes. And sugar-free almond.”
Customer: “Do you have sugar-free almond, or the regular almond?”
Me: “Both.”
Customer: *appears confused* “What do I get? Soy and almond, with two shots?”
Me: “Yes, ma’am. Let me start making that for you.”
(I make the latte and hand it to her. She takes a sip. She now appears extremely bewildered.)
Customer: “Is this soy?”
Me: “Yes. With two shots. And sugar-free almond.”
Customer: “Okay. Right. Good.”
(She leaves. She comes back.)
Me: “Hello again. Everything all right with your coffee?”
Customer: “Uh. What? Can I get a large two-shot latte with, um… what do I get?”
(This customer does this every time she comes in.)
