I’m Told I’m Not Allowed To Complain

Kids/Teaching, , , , ,

Barista: “The usual?”

Me: “No, I already had that this morning. Now I just want a frappacino. It’s a 2-coffee kind of day.”

Barista: “I hear ya. Monday!”

Me: “Yes! Ok, well, no. I’m on summer break. I’m told I’m not allowed to complain.”

Barista: “Oh please, teachers can complain all they want. Your job is HARD. And exhausting. You need the summer!”

Me: “Wow, thank you! I really appreciate you saying that. Most non-teachers don’t get that. Seriously. That made my day.”

Barista: “Absolutely! And stay tuned, Starbucks is doing a ‘Teacher Appreciation’ week when you guys start up again in September!”

And just when I was starting to like you, you mentioned September. 

Jackhole. 

Now You’re Just Fucking With Me, Starbucks

Random Thoughts/Happenings,

I have had no voice for the past few days, and trying to order my coffee in a loud, crowded Starbucks has been a challenge (I’m pretty sure if you google “First World Problems,” this is the exact definition). Yesterday they got my order completely wrong, so today I thought I’d be proactive. When the cashier asked for my order, I handed her my phone, which said this:

She smiled and wrote it down.

Then, this:

Being Awkward/Dumb Stuff I Do, Random Thoughts/Happenings, ,

This morning, after the gym I popped over to Starbucks and, in classic disheveled-A.D.D.-Emily style, left my keys on the coffee bar. I realized this once I got home, and ran back to Starbucks to get them. When I walked in, the barista was dangling my set of keys, laughing, and said: “Not your smartest move, huh?”

This from the guy who spelled my name like this:

Just sayin.
