Starbucks - Act 2



[Scene]
I'm at Starbucks, standing in line behind a gaggle of giggling schoolgirls with no concept of volume, waiting to order. Having finished ordering, they exit stage left, and I step up to the register.

[Starbucks Dude] Hi. Welcome to Starbucks.
[Me] Hi. Can I have a cappuccino, please.
[Starbucks Dude] Certainly. Is that to have here or to take away?
[Me] To have here, please.
[Starbucks Dude] I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you can't - all the seats and tables are taken.
[Me, teeth firmly gritted] Well, then, I guess I'll have to have it to take away, won't I.
[Starbucks Dude] Are you sure?


In the darker recesses of my mind, I proceeded to commit horrible, unspeakable violence against Starbucks Dude...

  • Haha. Maybe he thought you were one of those Juice Station posers who just like to stand around posing with their cup. ;)

  • There's a reason he gave up that career in rocket science to work at Starbucks.

  • Starbucks dude and chick usually advise me before ordering that all the seats are taken and then ask if I still want to order. Sounds like you've got one of last decade's robot models working at your local Starbucks.
