An Extra Sprinkling Of Spice In Your Latte
I’m on the road for a business trip and stop off for a coffee. With the masks, it takes a few attempts to get through my order, even face to face, but we get there and the cashier repeats it back to me. While he doesn’t say it, I definitely get the impression that this is all too frustrating for him — lots of sighs and terse replies.
I stand down the way and wait for the coffee. The same cashier puts a cup on the table with a slam.
Cashier: “Coconut latte!”
Me: “Sorry, is that mine?”
Cashier: *Sighs* “Did you order a coconut latte?!”
Me: “Well, no, I ordered a coconut vanilla latte.”
Cashier: “No, you didn’t.”
Me: “My receipt is here.”
Cashier: *Taking the receipt and muttering* “Should be clearer when you order.”
Another worker brought me my drink and I left. I understand getting fed up if you’ve had a long day, but this was only an hour after opening and it wasn’t even busy.
