I am employed by a well known establishment that supplies consumers with their daily dose (or overdose) of legal addictive stimulants. Those of you with food industry experience are well aware of the fact that being on our side of the counter comes with it's fair share of entertaining situations & fascinating people. Eventually I'd like to share a few stories of my time here, but first I think it's necessary that I share a few tips on etiquette for absent-minded patrons.
1. It is not in your best interest to start your order with "Give me a...", not that we'll go in the back & spit in your food (I've never heard of it at my store), but we'll continue to keep you in our good graces if you are polite.
2. I do not recommend coming to the drive-thru & placing an order of fifteen drinks with thirty assorted pastries (with no preference on type) during a rush...or at any other time for that matter. Park your car & come inside.
3. Note that if we do not know your name & you come in regularly enough we will make one up for you (& you will most likely never know). Like "Boo" (who's real name was recently discovered), "Fabio", "Americano Guy", "Girl Who Cheats The System", or the unfortunate "Porn Guy" (who abuses our free wireless internet).
4. Pick-up lines are not encouraged & will most certainly earn you a place on our "creepy customer" list.
5. Rearranging the furniture is okay, just don't block the front door & then look at us as if we're the stupid ones when we ask you to move because it's a fire hazard.
Take note & enjoy your beverage.
