You Can’t Just Squirt That Kind Of Thing Out
(I’m making drinks on a typical weekend. The customers waiting for drinks are a pair of fifty-year-old golf buddies just chatting.)
Me: “Your mocha will be ready in just a moment here.”
Customer: “Yah, sure.”
(Having run out of whip cream, a pull a fresh container from my fridge and give it a shake. Typically new containers have some water running down the sides from condensation and this flies off when I shake it. Neither customers nor colleagues tend usually notice.)
Customer #1: *watches this* “Oh, so you’re a squirter?”
Me: *look up with very wide eyes, mid-drink* “Um, pardon me?”
Customer #2: “You can’t say stuff like that!”
Customer #1: “Oh.” *picks up drink and walks off without apology*
Me: *stunned silence*
