Drinkin' Like a Poor Woman

Recently, a co-worker of mine had an interesting customer experience. That experience was worthy of being documented in this blog.

My co-worker got the pleasure of assisting 2 rich, snobby women. They wanted the sparkling water that we now offer. So my co-worker hands them the bottles and one of the women says "Do you guys have the glass bottles? I like those better." and my co-worker says, "We don't. We recently started carrying them and this is what we were given" The woman then proceeds to ask if we have any glasses she can pour it into you know "Like the one's in that picture?". Naturally, my co-worker says, "No, all we have to offer you is a mug or I can give you a plastic cup if you would like." So of course, the woman takes it. No ice. She merely wants to pour sparkling water in a plastic bottle into a plastic cup. The customer then turns to her friend and says, "Do you want a cup too? I can get her to give you one as well." and her friend says,

"No, I want to drink like a poor woman."

So. Recap. You got a plastic bottle. Poured the same drink into a plastic cup. Way to not save the environment.

She also left her cup and bottle at the end of the bar on the ledge and told her friend to do the same. It is people like her that make me want to quit just so I can tell them off. Seriously, I think I would actually call my boss and quit just so I could tell her off. That would be most rewarding. Also, kudos to my co-worker who managed to not hysterically laugh in their faces.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to drink some water, like a poor woman would.

This isn't a good surprise.

It has come to my attention that it is very difficult for people who use public restrooms to treat them as their own bathrooms. Yeah, there are bathrooms out there in public that are disgusting, get cleaned once a month, and have thousands of people using them. However, in a coffeeshop, this is not the case. In case you didn't notice, that toilet was clean (inside and out) until you put your ass on it and decided to shit against the back of the toilet. Who does that? I mean, is it absolutely necessary to sit that far back against the seat for that to happen? Ok, I understand, coffee gives you the shits. How about you courtesy flush, or flush it a few more times to get the poop off the inside? We won't judge you. It is only until about 6 hours later when I have to scrape it off that I judge you.

Also, it has been noted that some people don't exactly know the location of the flusher, or how to use it. Here is the proper use of the toilet and how to execute a flush. (this is not just for males either.)

Just in case you need it, here is another diagram.

Simple. It's simple, I tell ya. Now go forth and share this nugget of information with the rest of the world!
