why would we carry that like what

[iPanda]

hHhEEEYYY so I got a second job alongside my childcare job! c:
I now work as a barista in a coffee shop! it's internationally recognized... you know, the one that started over in the lovely rainy state of washington??

ANYWAYS... so I've already submitted this to that other notalwaysright site cause it was just so ridiculous... i have to share everYWHERE....

here~~~

Me: "Good morning, ma'am! And what can I get for you?"

Customer: "I'd like a ham artisan sandwich."

Me: (rings the sanwich up) "Alright and anything to drink?

Customer: "And I want a diet coke."

Me: (thinking that I misheard her...also the coffee grinder and the blender are both going off and Im still recovering from a ear infection) "I'm sorry ma'am, what did you say?"

Customer: "I SAID I want a diet coke."

Me: "Oh, um, I'm sorry ma'am, we don't.... carry that here..."

Customer: (looks at me with both eyebrows raised, incredulously) "You don't carry soda?"

Me: "No ma'am."

Customer: (throws her head back, scoffing) "That's ridiculous! Fine then I'll just have a..." (looks at the menu) "I'll just have a coffee then"

Me: "Alright, just a coffee? Would you like the medium blend? or a different brew?" (we have a light, medium, dark, and decaf at the ready right behind me)

Customer: (scoffs again) "Just a coffee! Whatever!"

Me: "Alright, one medium coffee. Anything else?"

Customer: "That's all!"

...
She then looks at her friend/coworker the whole time as if this was all a tiring exchange... like, god FORBID that this coffee shop doesnt carry SODA... like what?? this is ridiculous...

"I'm sorry, but the only soda we have is the Caustic Soda we use to clean $equipment"

I wonder if she'd demand a glass of that.

A coffee shop that doesn't carry soda? Well now I've seen it all!
Clue' s in the name SC, just when you thought they couldn't get more dumb.

[MoonCat]

Well, to be fair, you carry ham sandwiches, not something I would automatically associate with a specialty coffee shop, either....

Just playin' devil's advocate. Your main product is COFFEE, I wouldn't expect to see Coke there, myself.

To be fair, any coffee shop I've seen usually carries some sort of soda. Our local one has several fancy bottled varieties. Plenty of people enjoy the food and atmosphere but don't drink coffee. (like myself)

Some coffee shops carry bottle pop and some don't - the lady should've at the least read the boards listing the drinks available and then she wouldn't have come off as an idiotic moron.

That's why my Mom doesn't go to places like that with me - she doesn't drink coffee, while OTOH I can drink it 24/7 (ie, hook an IV up to my arm.)

If I want a coffee drink, I'll use the drive-thru or walk in and get it to go.

But locally we have a couple of places that serve delicious cupcakes/pastries/cake slices - they sell hot or iced coffee drinks, milk, juice but no soda.

Same with a particular coffee house I've been to before over at the Big State University campus - they have sandwiches/bagels, all kinds of good treats and some of the best locally roasted coffee you could want. Sadly, Mom won't go with me b/c she doesn't drink coffee and they don't serve sodas and I hate going to places like that by myself.

She doesn't drink tea, either. For her it's either Dr. Pepper or she'll go without.

Coca~Cola Blak or Moxie?

[Sliceanddice]

and you now know why ive been in a coffee shop 4 times, twice to apply for a job once to get a gift card and pastry and once to get meimei a drink.

[Sleepwalker]

Ehhh, only ones I've ever seen with soft drinks kept them in a cooler up front. it's not like they'd have a fountain or something.

Ya gotta watch out at those places -- you might run into the terrifying beast that is the coffeeholic before they get their coffee! Or worse, that rare, majestic beast known only as...Barista...

I have been that coffeholic before coffee Which is why I have a coffee maker at home with a timer so when I get up to get ready for work, my coffee is ready and I can pour a cup and start waking up.


Only then after I've had my first cup is it safe to try to talk to me.

Worse

It could have been worse.

Imagine her reaction if you had Pepsi but no Coke.

Imagine her reaction if you had Pepsi but no Coke.

I have a feeling that the customer was already familiar with coke...and I don't mean the liquid kind But seriously, I've been in a few local coffee shops. Very few of them stock sodas.
