i got this pen four years ago when i was working as a barista at starbucks. I was on the registers and taking the order of this woman, who ordered a nonfat latte, because she was âwatching her weightâ
so this guy behind her, whom no one was talking to, for some fucking reason says âwathing your weight? but what about the wait for your watch?â (which is a completely unhinged response. like just complete Mad Hatter nonsense)
anyway this lady gets really uncomfortable and of the five people (me, him, her, the other checker, and the customer at the other register) who were now sucked into the uncomfortable silence, i decided that i should alleviate the tension by saying âyou canât wait for a watch; you donât have the timeâ
and then he said âoh, quick girl!â, gave me that pen, got out of line, and left without ordering anythingÂ
