Coffee shop gem.

As you all know, I have been working full time at the Lucky Bean Coffeehouse on Mackinac Island this year. Needless to say I love it.

I have also decided to start blogging about the dumb people who come in.

For example:

Today, a mother and teenaged son come in. Mom orders a mocha, easy. Boom. Done. Happy Customer.

The son orders an iced coffee and takes a sip. I think nothing of it because that's what people do with drinks, they drink them. So I start cleaning up and then I hear it...

 "Excuse me?"

I turn around and look at her and she hands me her sons iced coffee.

"He doesn't care for this."

Naturally, I assume I have done something wrong when I brewed it and ask what exactly is wrong with it.

"Oh, its just doesn't taste anything like McDonalds!"

......what?

Of course at this point all I want to do is smack them both and tell them to leave.

But I can't. So I "kindly" explain that in a coffee shop that isn't affiliated with the coffee experts over at McDonalds House of Beans and Diabetes, an iced coffee is in fact cold coffee....with ice in it.

And then I loaded it up with milk and sugar and sent them on their way while I shook my head and pondered what is wrong with the world.
