On the topic of Baristas…
I thought I’d relay a conversation of sorts I had with my Starbucks Barista today… seeing as the news is slow and my blog is in desperate need of an update.
So I’ve been working for a little over 2 hours at Starbucks at this point… and had gotten an incredible amount of work done (cheers!). However, my coffee, at least what was left of it, was downright cold… and I really thought that a half-glass would really be the reasonable thing to ask for especially since I was heading out very shortly… and my stomach was not exactly ready for what would be the day’s third cup of coffee. To make a long story short, I went up to the counter and very shortly, a short, cute brunette asked me if she could get me anything. I explained the situation… I wanted a re-fill but only needed a half-cup… decaf, thanks… and she responded very politely, but followed up with the question:
“You’re going to be an attorney, right?”
I answered with a grin, “well, ya, that’s right, but what does that have to do with the fact that I need a re-fill?”
“O, nothing… I just remember we had talked about it before…”
at which point I quickly racked my brain and was quite sure that such a conversation had never happened…
“it’s just I’m a poly-sci major and that’s an area I’m interested in”…
at which point… I figured out she was just flirting with me and we proceeded to have nice chat… BUT! the lesson to be learned from this story is that Starbucks Baristas SEE ALLL and REMEMBER ALL!!! if you have a book out on the table and a secured transactions outline displayed on your laptop screen… THEY WILL NOTICE!!! nothing is safe, nothing is private at starbucks…
consider yourself warned.
You didn’t include the most important part – did you get her number?
dude please tell me you asked her out?
and…I think you spelled barristas wrong
Did you ever consider the option that your memory is bad, and she was trying to make a good tip, so therefore made you think she was flirting in an attempt to make an extra buck. Just a theory, but with the economy the way it is, we should not be surprised.
(As many democrats would then announce following the statement of the economy, “Thanks Bush.” But then again your video about how obama got elected should provide some serious insight into that statement. I will leave it at that.)
