A Starbucks Story

Haha, this is completely random but since I can't tell you guys about it in person, I'm gonna write it down here. And hey, random stuff is the coolest, right? ;)

-------
~ 4 PM at Starbucks

So, I'm waiting at the Starbucks counter and the barista calls out 'Triple Shot Americano'. Here's what ensues:

Me: (thinking to myself) Oh, poor fool who ordered that. They're gonna be going crazy...I hope they don't drink it too fast.
--[a few seconds later]: (thinking) "Uh oh, I ordered an Americano...that's an Americano,...but I only wanted 2 shots."

[meanwhile the drink sits there, looking intimidating]

Friendly Girl Next to Me: [soft chuckle]

I look over to see her glancing at the drink, then at her boyfriend, then at me...with sympathy in her eyes.

Me: Oh no! Is that an Americano?

Friendly Girl: Yes, and it's not mine. (smiling)

Me: Oh NO! I only ordered 2 shots, I'll have to talk to them.

[the drink still sits there, G-d, has it GROWN???]

Me: Excuse me, is this a triple shot Americano?

Barista: Yes.

Me: Umm, well, I only wanted one extra shot. (note: this is the first time I've ever wanted an extra shot...and it might be the last ;)

Barista: It comes with two*, so that IS one extra shot. Three shots.

Me: Oh, oh...oh...ok. (thinking to myself: "Oh Dear G-d!" and then "This is gonna be Funn!")

*[Side note: Tall Americanos have never come with 2 shots before, I think this one did that just to spite me...]

Me: (to Friendly Girl) Oh gosh... (eyeing cup warily)

Friendly Girl: (laughs) You're gonna be BOUNCING for DAYS!

Me: This better last me for days!...You guys wanna share, I'll ask for an extra cup?

Friendly Girl (and her boyfriend, by default): No thanks, have FUN!

Me: Thanks, I will!

I gingerly pick up the cup of power amidst friendly laughs and many sympathetic and admiring stares.

And SCENE! (true story, by the way)

And an early Gud Shabbes and Happy Weekend to everybody. Watch out for that Starbucks coffee :)
