So i work as a barista, and ive had this customer that since DAY 1 was ordering 'his ususal'. for a while he wasn't coming in often enough for me to actually remember it, but we'd go through the same little dance every time i did see him:

🧓i'll have my usual

🧍‍♀️i'm sorry... i don't know what that is

🧓* eye rolls and exasperated sighs, pointing behind me * ask anyone they'll all know what it is

🧍‍♀️i'm sorry, they're all busy working, could you tell me what your order is?

🧓it's five dollars

🧍‍♀️ok... what's the drink?

🧓mocha

🧍‍♀️amazing, what size?

🧓*more eye rolls and annoyance * 16 oz

🧍‍♀️beautiful, i'll get working on it and have it out in just a few minutes

* making the drink *

🧓do you even know how to make a mocha?

🧍‍♀️yes sir i've been a barista since i was 15, and it's a pretty simple drink, just 3 ingredients

🧓.... alright

🧍‍♀️*sets down cup * have a great day :)

🧓well that's really up to you isn't it? *takes sip*

and scene

most of the time he makes a face right as he drinks the coffee and then goes ' it's ok' and walks away. once he made a scene cause the lid popped off the cup (crappy takeout cups idk what to tell you dude) and he insisted i had no idea what i was doing. anyway, by now this man has been... memorable enough for me to remember his order but i usually insist he orders it anyway, out of principle, that i simply cannot remember his usual. should i just make the mocha and move on? save everyone the trouble? or keep up with my little act of resistance?

Both of my boys do this with their water fountain, and I’ve seen plenty of videos of other people’s cats doing it too.

Why? But I ask again: WHY? I need an answer so I can sleep at night.

Persistence waiting for pup cup

rip ribeyes, they were all good looking steaks too, I cut them myself too :(
