The House Never Makes Mistakes

(I have just finished making coffee and am still in that area of the store when a regular comes over to get a cup.)

Customer: “Is this the House Blend?”

Me: “Did you get it out of the shuttle labeled House Blend?”

Customer: “Yes.”

Me: “Then yes, that’s the House Blend.”

Customer: “Are you sure? It looks different.”

Me: “I just made it. I’m sure.”

Customer:  “But it looks different. Are you sure it’s House Blend? Sometimes people can make a mistake without realizing it.”

(The customer tells me story of stupid mistake he made at work.)

Me: “Did you taste the coffee?”

(Customer tastes coffee.)

Me: “Does it taste like House Blend?”

Customer: “Yes.”

Me: “Okay, then.”

Customer: “But everyone makes mistakes.”
