There was ‘tude at the ‘bou this morning.

But I got free coffee so that’s something at least.

I think I need to start an “adventures in coffee-ing” category.
 
Today I stopped at the ‘Bou (Northside Pkwy/West Paces Ferry exit off 75) and got my typical large light roast of the day with a shot of espresso.  I must just be in an ornery mood today.  But, seriously?  NO.  Just because y’all call it a “depth charge” doesn’t mean I have to.  This is the second time that I’ve ordered it and was told (all friendly chipper-like), “we call that a depth charge.”   Well goody for you!  Me?  I think that’s the dumbest thing I ever heard.  A depth?  It doesn’t even make sense.   And it’s stupid.  Just because you want to call it something stupid doesn’t mean I gotta follow like a sheep.  So I will continue calling it a “large light roast of the day with a shot of espresso,” and if y’all ever try to correct me again, remember that *I* haven’t had my coffee yet and I might just go all crazy on your ass.
 
Oh.  Didn’t I mention the ‘tude was mine?   :-)
 
They did have their own as well however. I was handed my coffee and went to dress it up (half and half and two sweet n lows), only to hear moments later, “large with depth charge!” called out as being made and put up on the counter for its recipient.  The dressing station is right in front of these employees so I’m standing right there as I hear one girl repeat, “large! Depth charge!” with a little more force – God forbid someone had dashed to the bathroom or didn’t hear her the first time.  Then the guy next to her got in on the act, but low enough only those right near them can hear, “anytime now, people…” to which she responded, “anyone? Anyone?” and they snickered.
 
At this point I said, “excuse me. *I* ordered a shot of espresso in mine and was handed this coffee a half a minute ago….” Before I could continue, she said, “oh, that one doesn’t have the shot in it – this is your coffee.”  Um, thanks, angel.  Next time when y’all screw up, try not to insult your customers where they can hear then?
 
She did go on to say I could keep the first coffee, too.  No shit, Sherlock. Give it to someone at work, she said.  Huh.  As if.    With the attitude I have today, it’s probably good I got an extra. 

 
It’s probably a good thing.  I obviously need it today. :-)
