Clearly, I needed this coffee more than I even knew, because one of my co-workers would later inform me that I had walked right by her on my way in without even noticing. I digress.<br /><br />As I stood there waiting for my drink to be made, I decided to pass the time by reading the comments written about the "Barista of the Day." I learned that she enjoys riding her bike to work and going out to Latin night clubs, and that she is a student at American University. Then I happened to glance at her coffee recommendation for the day … "Tall Coffee!" A drink that isn't even made by the barista, but rather by the cashier<br /><br />In other words, "Leave me alone. I'm planning my night out at the club, and don't have time to make your triple shot, extra hot, non-fat macchiato … or whatever else ridiculously complicated beverage you may want to order."<br /><br />Hilarious. Thanks, Jessica, for your commitment to customer service. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5458742700420590577-5393898338581288285?l=thatswhatshesaid-dc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kelllllhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00505155197710649364noreply@blogger.com2
