Eavesdropping at Starbucks

A friend recently told me she thought my blog was very entertaining because I find the humor in the simplest things. After thinking about my past blogs of Sex Color, Danger in the bathing suit store, and mannequin heads, I realized – she was right. And my experience at Starbuck’s on Saturday was a perfect example of finding the humor in the simple things.

After chowing down at CPK with my cousin, Aunt and sister, I was in dire need of a little pick-me-up to get through my day of shopping. I was so stuffed; I was teetering between a Thanksgiving-stuffed and possible comatose-stuffed stage. So we stopped at good old Starbucks’s for a cheap $7 coffee . While waiting in line and practicing our overly-complicated order of a tall skinny Vanilla Latte with an extra shot of espresso, tall skim Vanilla Chai Latte, and a tall Caramel Frappucino with an extra shot of espresso, I overheard an entertaining conversation between the man behind the Starbucks’s Counter and the customer in front of me.

The customer in front of me stepped up to the register and said to the Starbucks cashier “I am starving and want something sweet and tasty. Everything looks so good and I can't decide what to get. What would you recommend?” The Starbucks’s cashier walks over to the dessert case, carefully studied the dessert selection and after a few moments said with absolute conviction – “I’d definitely go with the Double Sticky Iced Cinnamon Roll...TRUST ME, I used to be fat.” The customer was convinced and ordered himself the Double Sticky Iced Cinnamon Roll. Bon Appetit.

I know it's wrong to eavesdrop, but I couldn't help myself. Think about all the hysterical comments I'd miss like that one. That comment was easily worth the $7 .

P.S. I will be posting my outfits for the week on Friday.
