I got my coffee upgraded

07
10

As a frequent visitor at Starbucks, I am used to be served rather quickly. Until today. I paid for my Frapuccino, and then waited patiently by the table where they serve the coffee. I waited… and waited. One of the baristas was obviously in trouble with the coffee machine. She opened the machine’s lid only to look and try and close it again. But she couldn’t, because some things had fallen into that space between lid and machine. Among those things were espresso glasses and a cup as well as a large amount of paper. Barista number 2 helped her to get the problem fixed and meanwhile they forgot my order and instead began to serve the other guests. Barista number 3 then asked about my order and my answer was the keyword for barista number 2 to finally remember the plastic cup he had placed on the table behind him. He began to prepare the Frapuccino, and gave it to me, mentioning he had upgraded it to “grande”. Thank you, dear machine -)

    lol that sucks. I hate it when people forget my order but I guess it wasn’t their fault.

    Heh that’s cute. I wish stuff like that would happen for me, but then again I never get to sit because I have my three year old getting into everything and running off.
