Tumblr Post: Barista Handles Trickster Customer


Every now and again we can get caught up in unique interactions while out going about our daily business that reminds us we share a planet with some particularly unique individuals. This quick and entertaining Tumblr post about a strange customer makes him sound like he was the mad hatter himself.

Text - taylortut y'all know that john mulaney quote "the things crazy people say mean nothing to them but everything to me?" every time i hear that quote, i think about how i got this light-up pen

Pen

Text - taylor-tut i got this pen four years ago when i was working as a barista at starbucks. I was on the registers and taking the order of this woman, who ordered a nonfat latte, because she was "watching her weight" so this guy behind her, whom no one was talking to, for some fucking reason says "wathing your weight? but what about the wait for your watch?" (which is a completely unhinged response. like just complete Mad Hatter nonsense)

Text - anyway this lady gets really uncomfortable and of the five people (me, him, her, the other checker, and the customer at the other register) who were now sucked into the uncomfortable silence, i decided that i should alleviate the tension by saying "you can't wait for a watch; you don't have the time" and then he said "oh, quick girl!", gave me that pen, got out of line, and left without ordering anything patron-saint-of-smart-asses You pleased a mad fae trickster
