I love my job. I work in a cafe and interact with some of the best and most interesting customers. I love my job. I can't stress that enough. Mainly because I now have to bad mouth some of those wonderful people. No matter how fascinating and engaging they are, they dumb.
I think the fact that our sign doesn't say "Starbucks" confuses people. They don't understand that other coffee shops exist. Or something.
I swear I get the question "Do you guys have anything like a mocha?" more often than I'd like to admit. What exactly do they think is IN a mocha? It's not a government secret. Starbucks didn't invent and immediately copyright the making of mochas. It's espresso, milk, and chocolate. Honestly, they could probably make it at home and save themselves $5.
So I tell them, quite dryly, "We have mochas" and they show genuine surprise. A very excited "Oh you do?!" is almost always the response I get. I swear it's like talking to a dolphin. But not one of those dolphins that can jump through hoops and "stand" for fish treats. One of those dolphins no one wants to pay to see.
