So I’m sitting in Starbucks, trying to come up with something to blog about.
Think. Think. Think.
Ever heard of it? Starbucks?
The guy ordering apparently hasn’t. I can hardly believe my ears. Must document this.
He is talking to the employees about what to order.
Employee: “These are our cold drinks over here, these are the hot drinks. There’s also regular coffee, decaf coffee and tea.”
Man: “What is a ‘Mocha’?”
They are describing what a Frappucino is. And a latte.
Now he is asking how the latte is vanilla flavored. With vanilla extract or what?
Now the employee is showing him the vanilla syrup.
Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
Clearly – CLEARLY – this man is actually an alien from Neptune or something.
What other explanation could there possibly be for him not having a clue what Starbucks serves? You'd would have to try to be that ignorant about Starbucks! That's like going into McDonalds and asking what a Big Mac is.
More interestingly, what made this guy suddenly decide to go into this coffee shop and try out this "Starbucks" thing that's on every street corner?
About Melissa
he’s lonely and just wanted conversation…
um, if someone needs to have “mocha” and “latte” explained to them, they need to look elsewhere for employment….
He must live where I live!
I hate to say this…I do…but it’s what came to mind as you told the story…was he…ahem…old?
Sadly, I think I am related to several individuals, who will remain nameless, that would be asking the same questions.
That happened to me before… except it was a lady and a man and she got ANGRY that her drink was not a venti caramel machiato frappachino with foam like some other random lady… sooo entertaining
So funny! I worked at the Sbucks during college and we got one of those customers about every other week or so- it still never ceased to surprise me…
That is too funny. I don’t drink Starbucks but I know the difference between all the drinks. My goodness!
He probably got a gift card for Christmas and never walked into a Starbucks or any other coffee shop. I used to be like that. In fact, a few weeks ago, I ordered a Cappuccino in an attempt to be adventurous instead of ordering my normal Vanilla Latte. To my dismay, when I tried to sweeten my drink, all I saw was tons of foam and very little drink. I thought I was being ripped off!
I normally just deal but I was pretty upset about being cheated out of my coffee. So I walked up to the guy and said, “Uh, what happened to the coffee? There’s nothing in here!” He then proceeded to explain to me that a Cappuccino is mostly foam and little drink while a Latte is just the opposite: mostly drink and little foam. In my head, I think, OH! He sees the look of surprise on my face and then asks if I’d like a latte instead. Sheepishly, I say yes. And he did it for free too! I was so thankful. Besides, who just sips foam?!
And I don’t even know what a Mocha is myself.
Wait… time for Google.
Coming over from Musings’ Carnival. Maybe there was a cute barista behind the counter and he just wanted an excuse to visit.
You are making me want a Starbucks. It has been too long.
Funny story! It inspired me to post my own Starbucks funny story.
hahaha!
