We assumed that when customers saw us they would either applaud or simply not order anything. I mean, who tells a guy in a suit that they want a triple shot, half caf, nonfat, sugarfree vanilla latte? The answer: people with butlers and also people who want to order triple shot, half caf, nonfat, sugarfree vanilla lattes...
Anyway, about 30 minutes into our shift, who do you think came through the door? That's right, CHRISTY!!!!!!!!
At first you could tell she was taken aback by our smart apparel choices but finally she mustered up a, "Oh, hey guys. We're trying reeeeaaaally hard to get you some more adventures."
I was like, "yeah right lady!"
Nic, having a little crush on Christy, said "Oh that's ok. Whenever." And then he gave her a little touch on the shoulder and blushed.
I was all, "What'll it be she-devil?"
And here's the crux. She wanted a decaf, nonfat latte, FOR FREE!!!!!! She even specified the "FOR FREE" part!!!
Nic tried to ring it in but he needed my special permission since I'm a shift supervisor and I wouldn't give it to him.
Long story short, I charged Christy for 5 lattes and Nic hasn't talked to me since. In fact, he's been crying in his room for the past 4 hours.
I think I'm going to order some Domino's...
I hope this means 29 more days of menial coffee shop job stories.
