So I came back from my dentist appointment this morning and stopped back at Starbucks on my way home to get a turkey bacon, egg white sandwich (no cheese of course!). I already had had my morning cappuccino on my way to the dentist but I didn’t want to eat until afterwards. The store was empty except for one person walking up to the counter so I figured I’d be in and out really quick! The guy had been staring intently at the menu and when he started to order I realize this was going to be interesting, to say the least.
Guy: “Ok, I’d like a grande caramel.”
Employee: “Caramel what?”
Guy: “A caramel. Grande.”
Employee: “Do you want a caramel frappuccino?”
Guy: “Yes.”
The guy then goes on to order something else for his sister (I couldn’t hear) and went into some spiel with the girl at the counter. Apparently he was supposed to get this drink free for some reason. She goes to check with the manager and he turns to me. (By this time a line is forming…)
Guy: “I don’t normally come here. But the other one got my order wrong. That ever happen to you? I think they gave me the wrong cup or something. My sister’s order was completely wrong too.”
Me: “Nope.”
Guy continues to babble at me. I pray the employee comes back quickly. Which she does not. I mostly ignore the guy and he mostly ignores that I’m not paying attention and continues to babble until she returns.
Employee: “Ok, that’s fine.”
Guy: “Ok, just want to make sure you get it right. My drink is a sweet drink right?”
Employee: “Yes, its a caramel frappuccino. They’re sweet.”
Guy: “Ok, so its like got creamy stuff in it? I don’t want to taste the coffee.”
Employee: “Yes, its coffee, caramel, blended with ice and sugar and milk.”
Guy: “Ice? Its a cold drink?”
Employee: “Yes, its a frappuccino.”
Guy: “Oh, I want something hot.”
The employee changes his order and he walks off to go babble at the girl making the drinks with his same ‘story’. I can’t possibly imagine how his order was ‘wrong’ last time!
