I swear...

Customers drive me crazy...
No I am not your therapist, nor do I care about what you ate for lunch.

One customer comes in everyday and crys about her life. She also has conversations with the food "whatta cute little brownie! imma eat youu!" fml.
I was working the bar one morning and she came over and dropped a note into a milk pitcher. On the outside it had "read and destroy!" written on it. So i read it and it described her interest in a man and how she dreamed of him and how much he hated her and was going to call the cops on her. Naturally I shared this note with all the other coworkers and my manager.  Then one day...she went missing. We later learned she was commited to an institution and has been banned from our building.

I have my few select customers that I do love in the mornings, the ones who generally care about you as a person, not just as someone who makes their coffee. And its those customers that I will go out of my way for...bring your coffee up to your office? sure! give you extra carmel, whipped cream, shots? sure! have your order ready before you even pay? sure!

But I do have those customers that are horrible...
Wanna piss me off?
-talk on your phone while i'm trying to take your order.
-not say thank you, or even acknowledge my presence.
-ask me what everything in the pastry case is...and if it has nuts.
-ask me what soy is..its NOT milk retards.
-tell me that the sizes are wrong and that a tall is a large. no, tall is small.
-tell me 'but thats how peets does it'...i dont give a flying fuck.

but overall..I love it. I have the best job and I love making people happy everyday :)
oh and my coworkers are hilarious. especially one who thinks the illuminati are after her..dummy, you live in east oakland, you have bigger issues to deal with.

hahahah.peacee.
