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. ;)
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason he gave up that career in rocket science to work at Starbucks.
ReplyDeleteStarbucks 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.
