Meanderings of a Barrista

I can tell I'm a band geek when I'm working as a cashier and the cash register at work shows "$18.12" as the customer's total, and I exclaim, "Just like the 1812 overture"


"I am worthy of notice"

A man stopped by to get coffee. After taking his order I went to the end of the counter to prepare his drink. After I was done making it he said to me "My name is _____ I grew up in _____ Mi. I'm a painter, I paint landscapes. I'm going to Indiana to a museum there to sign pictures. My name is _____ that's spelled with an "E-R" on the end, look me up on the internet, look at my paintings"

Yeaaah.

"You know you have addiction problems when..."
The ultimate Punishment for your kids is being grounded from getting Biggby coffee (the kids drinks), no joke.

I know I need to drink more of the product I sell when I take the customer's frequency card, swipe it, and as I'm handing it back to them (with it still in my hand) I ask them if they have a frequency card...

You know you come across as an extreme "good girl" when your co-worker finds it hard to believe you've been called anything worse than "Numb nuts"



That's all for now! I realized I have really put anything up here aside from Theological stuff & politics, which takes care of the "Kings" part...but not cabbages or random stuff. So there we go =)
