A decree.

If it takes more then three adjectives to order your coffee, you are LAME.

This morning, I ordered my Double (1) Tall (2) Latte, and moved along down the counter. The woman behind me ordered a:

Grande (1) 2% (2) Sugar Free Vanilla (3) No Foam (4) Extra Hot (5) Latte.  

The poor cashier then repeated this to the barrista who then repeated it back to her, meaning I heard all 15 adjectives it took to make her cup. of. coffee. COFFEE!

Woman. You are lame. Everyone thinks so.

That is all.

    2.Skim
    3.extra hot
    4.2-pump vanilla
    5.latte
    6.with extra foam

    They hate us a coffee shops; HOWEVER, if I’m gonna pay almost 5 U.S. dollars for something to drink, it better be the way I want it, dammit! Ha!

    While working as a barista, I had a regular customer who ordered a quadruple (1) venti (2) 2% (3) double the syrup (4) sugar-free raspberry (5) white chocolate (6) mocha. By the time you put the syrups in the cup, it was halfway full. We’re talking almost 10 ounces of SYRUP. I’m sure the sugar-free raspberry made all the difference.

    Jill: They hate you because you’ve ordered EXTRA FOAM with SKIM milk. You need fat to make foam! I could never hate you my love, but your drink is very high maitneance.

    Beth: GRRRRR-OSS. My favorite barrista story was when a lady told me that the bubbles in her foam were too big.

    Jenny, I hate to quibble, but the nonfat milk makes the best foam.

    I’m with you Jenny. Where is Almost Live and their grunge rockers when you need them? LAME, LAME, LAME, LAME!

    p.s. I am not sure if I entered said email address in correctly because I cannot read the white font on the light yellow background.

    Beth: Hmmm. Perhaps we should have a foam off.

    Rhon: Ha! I haven’t thought abouth those guys in ages! Sorry you can’t see the fields very well. Things look so different in different browsers.
