No Coffee Drinker Left Behind
A couple of odd things that happened yesterday at my place of employment.First I had a midmorning encounter with evil of Tim Lahaye proportions. Around 10:00, I had a customer order three beverages.
Her price total--$6.66
After announcing the cost of the items, she and I joked about it as I made her latte. Then, the next customer steps up to the counter and orders two beverages, a scone and a newspaper.
His price total--$6.66
Two in a row. Now, THAT is creepy. Left Behind Ministries will be investigating the matter shortly.
The other strange bit was the 60 year old gentleman who ordered a mocha and tried to pay with his Starbucks gift card.
"Do you take these here?"
"No, sir, this isn't a Starbucks."
"I know, I just wanted to check if I could pay with it here."
Apparently the person that gave him the card didn't tell him that it was a card for a particular coffee establishment. I honestly think he believed it to be a universal coffee card. Which gives me an idea...
Wouldn't it be great if we had a barcode on or a computer chip implanted in our foreheads that was a universal gift card for coffee? That would be amazing...but would surely prompt another investigation by Left Behind Ministries.

Sadly, the Starbucks gift card works everywhere I can get coffee in Memphis. Yay for monopolies!
