This Customer Has A Latte Problems, Part 2
(I sell and prepare often pricey coffee from another well known company. We sell baked goods as well, including sandwiches.)
Me: “How can I help you today?”
Customer: “Do you have any turkey sandwiches?”
Me: *looking at the case, it features ham, sausage, bacon, and a vegetarian option as well* “Sorry, those are the only options we have available. Will one of them be okay?”
Customer: “I guess but can you customize the sandwich for me at least. I don’t like croissants.”
Me: “Unfortunately the sandwiches are prepackaged so we can’t do that but we can remove anything that you like from any one that you choose.”
Customer: “Fine, the bacon gouda with no bacon and no cheese. And a cappuccino as well.”
(After the order is paid for and received they come back.)
Customer: “My sandwich was fine but there is no milk in my cappuccino. It’s all foam.”
Me: “Cappuccinos are mostly foam and only half milk.”
Customer: “That’s not true. It’s supposed to be the other way around.”
Me: “Then you want a latte.”
Customer: “NO! It’s a cappuccino!”
(This back and forth went on for a bit, so in the end I made a latte with the code of a cappuccino and the customer walked away happy in their ignorance.)
