But It's Raining Outside!

[Canadian In Maine]

I work the midnight shift at a Canadian coffee shop named after a hockey player and I spend most of my time on drive thru but one night an SC came in and ordered a coffee and a couple of donuts.

SC: Uh, I need a coffee and two dounts.

ME: How do you want the coffee?

SC: Double double and I want it in a bag.

I make the coffee, slap a plastic lid on it and present it along with the donuts that are in a bag, folded over.

SC: Uh, I wanted the coffee in a bag, not the donuts.

ME: It will leak if I do that.

SC: Uh, but it's raining heavily outside, I don't want it to get wet.

ME: If I put the coffee in a bag not only will you be unable to drink it the bag gets wet it will break and the coffee will be on the ground.

SC: Uh, oh, yeah, okay.... *wanders off*

Clearly not firing on all cylinders.

Definitely needed some coffee.

What??

It had a lid on it! Rain's not likely to end up in the coffee through that tiny little drinking hole in the lid. And rain on the cup and lid is....not a problem. Weird.

He was wacked out on something. I guess that's one of the downfalls of working midnights in a coffee shop.

[bbbr]

Maybe he wanted the coffee poured into the bag and the donuts jammed into the cup?

This reminds me that I onced walked to Dairy Queen in a heavy downpour, bought a cherry ice cream soda, and walked home eating it in the rain. Got a little watered down but I didn't care. (bad mood that day).

Why do I like the sound of that? It seems like it would be very relaxing.

Unrelated to the main thread, but OMG: butter tarts! Can't get them below +/- the 45th parallel.

Plain, raisin, walnut, who cares? Shut up and take my money!
