Im a barista at a coffee shop, and this shift I had a couple days ago threw me for a loop. 😄 So I was taking an order from these two gentlemen at our walk-up window, the first guy ordered a drink, and I asked if he wanted whip cream on it. He said “nah that’s okay, I’m sweet enough already” Now, I’ve worked here for over 5 years and I’ve heard many quips, but I hadn’t heard that one before. So it stuck out in my mind. I laughed and took his friend’s order. For context, we have speakers inside the building and outside that we can Bluetooth music through, and I am a big Twenty One Pilots fan, so that was what was playing. The second guy asked me “did you guys pick this music?” (As opposed to a corporate office handpicking playlists for us or whatever) I said yes and he mentioned he was a big fan of the band also. (Let it be known that I was wearing a band tee of theirs but he didn’t comment on it, idk if he didn’t realize it was or what)

Now here’s where it gets kinda weird: Not 30 minutes later, I am outside taking orders in our drive through. One car has two guys in it and the driver orders a drink, I ask if he wants whip cream. He says “yea a little, I’m sweet enough already.” And I laugh it off but in my head I’m thinking how weird of a comment that is to have 2 separate customers say within less than an hour. No hesitation, this guy gestures to my shirt and says “oh Twenty One Pilots right? Big fan myself” Again, I laugh it off and talk about the band with him but inside I was like ‘WHAT’ These three guys were all different age demographics too.
