What I learn about men each day

My life in a coffee shop. May interactions and dealings with customers every day. Mostly about men because they are so memorable. For women to read because we will see these traits in all of our men.

What bothers you ???

So you are standing in line at a retail establishment, say Starbucks. We all have to go somewhere at one time or another. The grocery store, bank, the airport or coffee shop, it's all the same.

WAIT WAIT WAIT.

What do you notice about customers or what bothers you the most while waiting?
Do you notice other people waiting or do you watch the person behind the counter? or maybe you are off in lala land thinking about your girl/boy friend? That would probably be me.

What bothers , what makes you think about climbing over the counter and saying "hey , could you speed it up a bit?".
Let us all know.
Thanks for the ideas
Coco

1. Cashier or barrista getting the %$6^$^$ order wrong.

2. Customer ahead in the (short) line who turns out to be ordering for the entire freaking office.

3. Store out of key ingrediant (Soy Milk or something else) you wanted.

4. Barristas who slow down for a shorter line - my theory, the time waiting for a drink at Starbucks is a constant no matter how long the line is.

5. Latte's that have a ton of air at the top.

6. Customer who uses bizzare payment method or decides to top off their 'bucks card even though the %%#%% line is out the door.

7. Cafe that has the airconditioning turned up to INSTA-FREEZE.

It seems as if you are a disgruntled customer. I am sorry you had problems. Any good experiences at a Starbucks?

I love Starbucks. I've been to Starbucks all over the world, it's all good.

Compared to the Gen-X staffed 'independents', the service is far better.

The above complaints are just the things that go wrong sometimes.

The AC thing is the only one I don't get.
