In five years of working at a coffee shop, this is a new one on me...
This happened to a CW of mine, I heard the story later, but here's how it played out:
CW takes a phone call from a customer, who asks if we carry organic coffee. CW confirms that we do indeed, and he says he'll be over shortly.
10 minutes later...
A guy walks in and goes up to CW.
SC: Hi, I called just a little bit ago..
CW: Oh yes, about the organic coffee?
SC: Yeah, uh, I need a pound of it.
CW: Okay, do you need it ground?
SC: Um, yeah.
CW: For what setting?
SC: Huh?
CW: What do you need it ground for? Paper filter? Metal?
SC: Um, I don't think it matters... it's for an enema.
CW:
Somehow CW kept it together to ring him up. She waited for him to leave, then turned to the next person in line, a woman who's a regular and who heard this whole conversation.
CW: Would you like your latte to drink or for an enema today?
RC: To drink, I think.
When they told me this story, I didn't believe them, and then I howled with laughter. Of all the stories I could invent, this is one I would NEVER have concocted on my own brain power.
