One of the myriad joys of holiday drink specials is the constant ordering of "nonfat eggnog lattes" by dunce customers. Ignoring the flurry of snarky replies I'm tempted to make, I usually politely mention that the eggnog is not nonfat (BECAUSE NONFAT EGGNOG HASN'T BEEN INVENTED YET), but that I can cut it with some nonfat milk. Or if I'm really annoyed I just answer, "Of course!" and make it following the recipe.
I was complaining about this to one of my favorite regulars today and mentioned that at the conclusion of this holiday season I was going to suggest to corporate that the next seasonal drink should be a Barista Tears Latte. They then suggested a drink called the Barista's Revenge (all of this occurring after their big chuckle over my Tiger Woods joke). This exchange basically made my day. Oh, along with the fact that I got my shift on the day after Xmas covered so I don't have to spend the holiday driving navigating blizzards on the road from Boise back to Seattle (!!!!!!).
Plus Becky's moving here soon and my auntie and cousin from the Twin Cities and Baltimore, respectively, will be in Idaho with the gentiles over Xmas this year. Life is good.
