Just a cuppa...

"Just a cup of cappuccino please," she requests.
"What size would you like?"
"Uh, um I guess that one there," she points to a group of three cups from about 4 feet away.
"This one?" I point to the medium size.
"No, that one." Again pointing to the group.
"This one?" I point to the small size.
"NO, the biggest one," she states a little annoyed.
"Now that we have that settled would you care for any sugar or sweetener?"
"Sweet-N-Low, it's that stuff in the packet right there (pointing to my bin of sweeteners) it's PINK."

Dying before you are 40...

"Do your cappuccinos taste like those ones you can get out of the machine?"


"NO, thank God!"

Black & White

“I’ll take a large black and white with one Splenda.” She says. I start setting up the shot. “What’s the difference between a black and white and a café au lait?” “Well a black and white is a latte with chocolate and vanilla syrup and a café au lait is half coffee and half steamed milk.” I reply. “Oh, I forgot there was a difference.” “Did you still want Splenda added?” I ask. “Yes, I like Splenda.” I finish off the black and white latte and hand it over. After taking a sip she squits and says, “this is too sweet.”

Sunday Funnies

Freddie was eighteen years old, friendly, and eager to do things right. Unfortunately, he wasn't especially bright. He had just started his first job, as a delivery boy and general go-fer at a furniture warehouse.
His first task was to go out for coffee. He walked into a nearby coffee shop carrying a large thermos. When the counterman finally noticed him, he held up the thermos.
"Is this big enough to hold six cups of coffee?" he said. The counterman looked at the thermos, hesitated for a few seconds, then finally said,
"Yeah. It looks like about six cups to me."
"Good," Freddie said. "Give me two regular, two black, and two decaf."

Oh Boys...

"I'll take that coffee with two sugars and cream," he says.
"How would you like the other?" I ask him.
"I want six splenda in mine - I like my coffee like I like my women."
"Sweet and black."
He looks nervous.
"I bet you get that all the time it probably gets old."
"I'm sure it would if I were black."

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?"
