# i was once asked 'what flavour coffee would you like'
when i, quite reasonably, answered 'coffee. flavoured. coffee' i was asked not to be aggressive.

fucking 'tall' is it?

# Last time I went in costa I called the lad behind the counter a pillock
Because I watched him make my (large) americano with ONE shot of espresso.

The fuck? That's just mucky water.

# You win the internets and indeed the whole world for spelling espresso correctly!
I HATE it when people call it 'EXpresso'

# That reminds me.
My fiancée and I were in Wannaburger once. You can have your burger as beef or chicken. They had a special on one day - a minted lamb burger.

Me: The Americano, please.
Waitress: On beef or chicken?
Me: Beef, please.
Fiancée: I'll have the minted lamb burger, please.
Waitress: On beef or chicken?
Fiancée: Erm... lamb, please...
Waitress: What?

It took her a while.

EDIT: Sorry, I've just realised that story's shit.

# someone came into the shop yesterday for a "long wait"
i told them to come back in 20 minutes, as they where walking out the door i did stop them to tell them they'd being had, but they still came back in 20 minutes... so i had to explain that 20 minutes was a long wait.... he cotton'd on and asked for something to take back, I handed him a S shaped hook (for hanging pots and pans and the like) and told him to tell them we where out of long waits but had plenty of sky hooks, 3 minutes later, a girl walks back in with the S hook in her hand and asks for a "LEFT HANDED SKY HOOK" i took it out of her hand and turnt it around and went "there u go" and then she mentioned she the fella had being sent for a long weight and came back with a sky hook... so i had to explain to her what a LONG wait was, and I sent her back telling her to say "we're out of long weights but we do have buckets of electricity".... they didn't come back

# did you used to work in the same butchers as me?

EDIT: When I was working in Halfords the garage down the road set their n00b in for some plug sparks.
We gave the chap an empty box and told him not to drop or open the box because the sparks would get out.
He walked away really pleased with himself?
