    Be Careful What You Ask For!

    Because I will surely give it to you.

    Scenario 1

    SC: Hi, I'll have a pretzel bagel with butter.
    ME: Coming right up.

    *few minutes later, SC's girlfriend brings bagel back*

    SCGF: This was supposed to be toasted.
    ME: Ah, well then, next time you visit make sure he asks for it toasted.

    Scenario 2

    SC: Hi, medium, two sugars please.
    ME: Coming right up.

    *few minutes later SC and wife bring coffee back*

    SCW: You forgot his cream.
    SC: That's right. I asked for a medium with 2 sugars.
    ME: And that is precisely what I gave you.
    SC: But I wanted cream!
    ME: Then please let me know that when ordering next time.

    *********************

    Is it just me or do people just assume that I can read their minds? Kind of like this scenario:

    SC: I'll have a half and half.
    ME: A 'half and half' what?
    SC: *indignant* Uh, coffee and hot chocolate of course!!!
    ME: What size?
    SC: Oh for god's sake, MEDIUM!!!
    ME: My apologies sir, my secret mind-reading decoder ring is in the shop for repairs so I must ask these questions.

    Really??? Why are people such douchebags???
    The customer is always right until I decide he isn't.

    Don't they understand that they can only purchase if they answer these questions 3?

      To me, half and half is the creamer that I put in my coffee. I didn't even know there was a half coffee/half chocolate drink.

      But now I want one

                        The Timmie's version of a 'Mocha' as another poster has said is half hot chocolate, half coffee, topped with whipped topping and chocolate drizzle.

                        It will do in a pinch but it ain't the real thing.

                        My personal fave drink from work is half white hot chocolate and half coffee.

                          In situations like that, I've been known to say something like, "I'm sorry, I must not have heard you when you told me you wanted it toasted."

                            Actually, muchacho, I poured the soy in this cup, but I thought real hard about pouring it in that cup. You know, in my "mind's eye" or whatever.

                              The Tim Horton's mocha is half coffee-half hot chocolate. It's not a true mocha like what you'd get at Starbuck, but many Timmy's regulars wouldn't know that LOL
                              If it's not using espresso as the base it's not mocha. It's "mocka."


                              Nothing wrong with it, of course, but still.
