I'm easy...

"I'm easy," she says. "Small coffee."
"Would you like cream?" I ask her.
"Yes!"
"Sweetener?"
"What kinds have you got?" she says.
"Sugar, Sweet-N-Low, Splenda and Equal."
"Why would I want to know what kinds of sugars you have - what kind of coffee do you have?"
I say: "Oh, Tanzanian, decaf and French roast."
"Give me half decaf and half house."
After pouring the coffee. "Do you make cappuccinos?"
I tell her: "Yes we do and lattes."
"If I had known that I would have asked for a cappuccino instead."
"I can make you a cappuccino instead."
Start grinding for a small.
"What flavor cappuccinos do you have?" she asks.
"Uh, we'll we have just about every flavor syrup if you want that in it."
"I want pumpkin spice."
"Just about every flavor except that - I have cinnamon."
"Ok better make it a medium then - it's not too late is it?"
"Nope, I can make it medium," I say.
"Can you make it really dry?"
"You mean with a lot of foam, sure."
Very loud steamer sounds like a plane landing. Pour steamed milk before adding foam.
"I like it really foamy,” she says. “Do you have extra foam you can put in a separate cup for me? I like foam."
I have no extra foam so I just top of her cappuccino and hand it to her over the counter. "Wow,” she says, “this is really light. Why is this so light?"

That's great. Sometimes you have to wonder if people just started drinking coffee or have just never gone into one of those new Starbucks everybody's talking about.
"Oh, a smoothie! What's in that?"
