  • Tuesday night fright!

    Tonight hell opened up ..

    or the mental hospital ..

    at the coffeshop I work at we have those glass cake domes on the counter so people can choose a croissant, and I will pull it out for them..
    This guy decides he can just stick his frickin hand in there and take it out..
    SC: Oh, I want this too (holds up croissant)
    ME: Did you seriously just pull that out of there?
    SC: Yea ...
    ME: No.. don't do that again.

    *end*

    Sometimes I feel as though people dig into the deepest corners of thier mind and pull a childhood trauma out and turn it into a drink .. which in turn traumatizes me ..
    SC: I want a triple shot *SIFTED* through ice.
    ME: What did you just say to me?
    SC: I want a triple shot with ice, but i want you to drain the ice out .. so it's cold.
    ME: Like a mixed drink? like at a bar?
    SC: Yea.
    ME: It's not bad over ice, you can use a straw.
    SC: I like to just shoot it down.
    ME: Does ice slow you down?
    SC: ...
    ME: nevermind. it's coming right up.
    *note: he sat there sipping it for like 2 hours*

    ..next..

    SC: Can you make a cup of coffee that is half caffinated, half decaffinated.
    ME: Well, since I have regular coffee & decaf coffee .. I think I can *smile*
    SC: You can do anything!
    ME: ....... ??????
    *end*

    Some of our drinks are kinda expensive .. especially if they aren't coffee.
    SC: I want a coke.
    ME: That's 1.50 + tax.
    SC: Why is it so EXPENSIVE?!
    ME: Because we are a coffeeshop ...
    SC: That makes no sense..
    ME: Okay, um, because we hate you ..?
    SC: *buys drink, leaves*
    *anyone who asks me about pricing should be beaten. if I was making prices up, then I would not be standing behind this counter dealing with your stupid self*

    *end*

    The things those SCs do!!
    - I swear, no one can add sugar to thier coffee without exploding twice. or milk for that matter.
    - don't change your order while i'm in the middle of making it .. really.. know what you want.
    - STOP STEALING MY FRICKIN PENS!
    - No, I will not dance for a tip from you, im a barista NOT A FRICKIN POLEDANCER!
    - you tipping me stops me from mugging you later.


    there are more, but Im so tired.

      I think you should put that on the tip jar.

      If I ever win the lottery or something, I'm going to open a small, independent coffee shop in the city just so I can abuse customers.

        I'll tell my mom. She does steal pens, but she collects them and usually asks (read ask then beg and beg and beg) for them.

        Me they do that with cakes. First of all, you'd think a rumor mill like Gapsé would pass on the rumor that we do not make the cakes in the store, we haven't done so for 10 years now, we do not decorate them ourselves, we do not carry brand name cakes (Like Dora and Spongebob), etc...

        I don't mind when tourists asks. It's when locals keep asking. Then act surprised/offended when we say we don't. And ARGUE with me! "But my friend came here last week and got one done!" (Again with the magical last week)

        Hugs to you Paperkitty, you're a better man than I, living on the edge. I got a wall to hide behind, me.

            At my local coffee shop, the pastries under the glass dome are plastic, and they keep the real ones under the counter. I'd like to see that guy try it there.

              When we used to give away free cookies, a couple of tall kids tried to stick their hands in the jar.

              I caught one and SLAMMED the jar cover on his hand.

              I waited for him to gimme his cookie club card and then gladly handed him one.

              That cookie giveaway was hell because parents didn't understand the card system. IT'S TO AVOID POISONING YOUR KID IN CASE OF FOOD ALLERGIES!

                  This is why I always kept the crappiest-looking pens I could find on the counter. They almost never disappeared...

                            Lets see, you work at a Coffee shop that sells Coffee...NOT regular drinks so getting a regular drink is going to cost extra, because customers expect the drinks to be chilled which requires Ice or cooling point of sales device which costs EXTRA!
