on what would have been Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday a recent gallup poll found that less than 40% of the U.S. population believes in the theory of evolution.
So, I thought I would share with you, my little snowflakes, the series of questions I received this morning from the Barista at the Starbucks drive-thru. (If you follow me on twitter—and you should—you heard about this earlier here.)
So, to put this scenario into proper perspective, keep in mind that it was 7am and there were no less than 8 cars in the line:
Good morning, how are you today? Me: “Doing great, Thank you.” Think to Myself: I like happy people at 7am.
Would you like to try one of our infused Chai Latte’s today? Me: “No, thank you, I would like a grande black coffee.” Think to Myself: WTF is an infused chai latte?
That’s one grande black coffee? Me: “That’s correct.” Think to Myself: I am very proud of how prompt and courteous I am with my order. My mother was right about me…
Can I get you a pastry or warm oatmeal to go with that? Me: “No thank you, that is all.” Think to Myself: come on dude, let’s roll it along…
Would you like cream or sugar in that coffee? Me: “No thanks, black, please.” Think to Myself: fuck. fuck. fuck.
OK, one more question, would you like to buy a bag of coffee to send to our troops in Iraq? Me: “um, no thanks…just the coffee” Think to Myself: and now for a nice glass of guilt first thing in the morning…
Now, I understand that corporate makes these kids ask these series of questions, but would it kill them to limit the questions to just a couple during their biggest rush or is the time of day the reason for the extra push?
