When Coffee Tastes Are Too Well Grounded
Customer: “Where’s your normal coffee?”
Me: “What?”
Customer: “I just want a bag of normal coffee, not flavored. Where’s your normal coffee?”
Me: “Oh, all of the coffees on the left side of the shelf are unflavored.”
Customer: “No, they’re all flavored. They all say different flavors, like ‘Ethiopia’.”
Me: “No, those aren’t flavors. All the ones with a country name are just normal, black coffees like you want. The country name is where the coffee was grown.”
Customer: “What! There’s no such country as Ethiopia!”
Me: “Well, it’s very far away, in Africa.”
Customer: “If you say so. So the ones with country names aren’t flavored?”
Me: “Nope.”
Customer: “Fine. I’ll take the stuff from France.”
Me: “Coffee doesn’t grow in France…”
Customer: “Yeah, that French Vanilla.”
