bad form

[Green_Fairy]

so we have a lady that comes through the drive thru and orders a venti cappuccino with one raw sugar and extra foam. what she means by extra foam is nothing foam. uber uber uber dry. if you've ever worked in a coffee shop...you might know how tricky this is.
so "N" the guy on bar made one and i handed it out to her...and it was too heavy. so N made another one. too heavy. so N asked me to ask her to pull around and park and he would bring it out to her so we wouldn't hold up the already crazy long drive thru line.
omg...
"this is just bad form. i come here twice a day and order the same drink every day. this crew is the only one that can't get the drink right. it's not a difficult drink. this is just bad form. very unprofessional. bad form bad form blah blah blah."
she said bad form waaaay too many times.
so she pulled forward and i thought she parked. but when N went to bring it out to her, she wasn't there. paid and left. oh well. whatever.
few hours later...she came back. so sweet. uber nice. like nothing happened earlier. we had a person on bar, "S." apparently she liked the cappuccino S made better. they felt the same to me but psssh. what do i know.

Hold it. She says 'Extra Foam', but means 'no foam'? No soap, hon. Say what you want, or get what you say.

Of course, I can say that, since I'm not behind the counter dealing with spineless managers, but still...

I think she left out a word: "but" As in nothing but foam. That is what uber dry means.

The whole wide variety of ways that coffee can be made scare me. That's why my favorite is what my hubby calls my "cheap-o-chino": gas station cappochinos that come from mixes in a machine.

This way, I don't get overwhelmed by all the different varieties and options, and you barristas don't have to spend an hour explaining all the different varieties and options to me and then wait another hour for me to figure out what I want.

Though I have to admit, you guys have been great the few times I've tried. Very patient, very informed, and more than happy to suggest a sample of something based on the cheesy cheapochino flavors I tell you I like. Especially when I don't bug you during big rushes!

I know people have their personal likes and dislikes regarding coffee drinks but having worked at cafes before and, even though I don't drink coffee, I'd just like to say ...IT'S FUCKKING COFFEE!!!! GET THE FUCK OVER IT!!!

You want extra foam? How about I go find a rabid coyote and have him spit in your cup?!!!!!


There, I feel better now.

this is why I bought a cheepo machine. I make the extra foam and don't have to leave my house. if I go out for coffee, as long as it is iced and isn't burnt I am happy.

Oh, I figured out what Green_Fairy meant. The woman said 'Extra Foam', but meant 'no foam'. Got that. That's what I was responding to. If someone said 'Extra Foam' to me, that's what they'd get. Every. Single. Time. They. Said. That.
