Christina Vs. The Barista
Me: I’d like a small, dark hot chocolate with a double shot of caramel.
Barista: Frozen, iced, or hot?
Me: Um, what?
Barista: Frozen, iced, or hot hot chocolate.
Me: A small, dark HOT chocolate.
Barista: *gives me a look* Which kind?
Me: *through clenched teeth* Hot. Hot. Chocolate.
After paying…
Me: Oh, I’m sorry, did you give me my receipt?
Barista: Um, no. *He looks away from me and then glances back like he forgot I was there.*
Me: *silence*
Barista: Did you, like, want one or something?
Me: …
Some days, I just can’t with people. On the plus side, my hot hot chocolate was delicious.
