Every so often, I get one of these: Two guys come out to get coffee this morning. One guy orders a double Americano, the other orders a 16 ounce vanilla latte. I made the Americano first, which took all of thirty seconds, then maybe another minute to make the latte for the other guy. Hes standing there with his co-worker with the Americano, chatting and watching me make his latte. I pass it across to him and he says; Thats sugar free, right? Im diabetic. Down the drain it goes. I start over, making him a 16 ounce ~sugar free~ vanilla latte. I slide it across the counter to him. Hey, is there any way we can ice that? *blink* *blink* No. Not now that its 165°, itll turn to slop. Im sorry, I should have asked for that iced. Can I get one iced instead? Surrrre. Even though he stood three feet from me as I made his latte 2.0, listening to the PSSSSHHHH sound of the espresso machine steaming the milk, apparently he never deduced that this might result in his latte being hot. So down the drain went the 16 ounce sugar free hot vanilla latte to keep its cousin company. I made him his 16 ounce iced, sugar free vanilla latte and handed it to him. He says; Thanks, Im sorry about that. This is a triple shot, right? (!!!!!!!!) No. Its a double. The default for a 16 ounce is two shots because three is too much for some folks. I hate to ask you this, but can you please do it again, but as a triple? At this point, I figure the guys either screwing with me or hes the biggest idiot in Oregon. So I pulled two more single shots, put one in a small 4 oz cup and handed it to him. I instructed him to take a couple of sips from it as it is, and when hed made a little room, add the third shot to your ICED. SUGAR FREE. VANILLA. LATTE, which will then be a GODDAMN TRIPLE. That was the third and final drink I was going to make for this brat. I offered the remaining single shot to his buddy to put a little zing in his Americano, and he accepted it graciously. The look on his face said; sorry my buddy is such a spoiled asshole. I have no idea how the look on my face appeared to them, but it probably didnt convey my usual warm and fuzzy self.
