You heard about the guy who was so confused by all the choices at the local Starbucks that he asked for an Al Pacino.
An Al Pacino extra sweet, I hope
Funny thing is a local “hole in the wall” coffee shop near where i live actually HAS a cappuccino monk on the menu (its actually cappuccino monkey blend just they didn’t have the space for it all, But i digress)….its….nasty, Apparently someone thought Banana, Coffee, Whipped cream and malted milk with pecans was a good idea…..
I have ADD and too many choices flip me out. An Americano or a regular end up being my choice. My dear old dad used to call those fancy schmancy coffees ” perfumed coffee “.
I can relate to this cartoon. Very perceptive of you, sir.
Al Pachino! Love it. Would that be a double shot? Made with an automatic machine no doubt. “Say hello to my latte friend here”.
It seems that coffee afficianados are prochoice.
The waitress in the first panel reminds me of one who told the story of the grouchy customer that complained everyday. One day it was “Has this coffee been on the burner ALL DAY!?” “NO. But I’ll get you a fresh cup” The next she instructed everybody to leave one pot alone all day just for him. When he nearly choked on the severely carmelized coffee she said “THAT’s been on the burner all day.” I think he behaved after that.
More then 2 syllables and I’m walking out.
Now, not only can I not ask for a coffee, but I have to know which blend it is. Fortunately the kids where I occasional stop for a cup find me funny. My favorite blends are Redwood Rush and the Jenna’s Dark Side. When the pots are empty I’ll tell them the Redwood Rush hour is over, or that all the Force has fallen out of the Dark side. One bright lady asked me if that was the last movie I saw in a theater. I tipped her.
Oh Star Dregs, should I ever be forced to get a cup of “America’s Favorite mind altering substance” ‘tm’, from them, I simply ask for the only size on the menu that is correct. Everything but Venti is wrong, Venti is 20 in Latin, and it is a 20 oz cup. The rest is baby tal;k gibberish.
Yeah, Starbucks is one of these chains that has started popping up basically everywhere around here as well. Truth be told they are considered to make good (if overpriced) pastry and caffeinated drinks. But completely suck at making good coffee.
At *$ who wouldn’t be confused, hehe.
