I hope someone got to enjoy that latte, the optimistic colour pallet of your interior, the fashionably uncomfortable swivel chairs, your attractive employees, and the Bodumesque tea pots. I hope you give your next patron the option of paying for this service with modern day magic money cards.
Yes, I understand the mystical Ethernet wires were tangled. You are completely relieved of the responsibility of controlling the whims of the universe, but perhaps you could alert your patrons of this anomaly. Preferably before they ponder the expansive menu and declare their order to the barista, eagerly hand not one, but two magic money cards (yes, they were worthy), and have them refused (all the while the espresso blood runs).
I understand, too, if your pretty little slaves overlook this tiny detail. But I didn’t see the necessity of being directed half a kilometre away to my magic money card’s home base, only to return to a cold latte, with a stain between each arm, and change doomed for the vortex under the car seat.
Perhaps you should have fixed your folly by giving me the latte anyway. —Caffeine Free

So learn to carry a five -sorry, a twenty- for your overpriced crap. I might’ve been with you on this horrendous inconvenience that happens all the time to debit machines(and oh dear God you had to walk a whole half kilometre? REALLY?) if not for your shitty pretty little slaves comment. I’m sure you were a fucking treat to serve.
i thought it was a well written bitch, at least the op didn’t resort to cussin
Why would you go back and pay for the same latte that sat there getting cold while you were on your global trek to the bank machine. You should have asked for a new one, as the first one was not fresh or hot.
surely there was another piss-pot of swill closer to this magic bank machine ….. drink it or drown yourself.
THEIR COFFEE SUCKS ANYWAY.
OP you lost my vote at ‘pallet’ …what?? they were stacking the colours? (yeah, it ruins everything for me, just can’t ‘get in the mood’ to empathize, ya know)
The debit machine was down? Horrors!
Did they run out of Grey Poupon as well?
I understand how the fact that a debit machine was down is not exactly bitch-worthy, BUT it would be helpful for business to mention that to customers ordering or at least have a sign. A lot of businesses do this and it’s very helpful.
Also, if this was starsux, they would have given you the drink for free. I went in once just after a power outage and it was taking a few minutes to boot their systems up so they gave me my drink for free and said I could have whatever sweet I wanted 🙂
You sound like a self entitled twat. You do not even realize that you learned a valuable lesson. Technology fails, carry some cash.
That happened to me at McDonald’s a couple months ago PK. It was like wining the lottery.
last week, I got to the drive thru, and the sign said ‘no debit”
I didn’t mind so much, except I was stuck in the line up with 3 cars behind me and 3 cars in front of me.
All I wanted was a coffee, a free one would have been a cheap way to keep me a happy customer.
Wut’s bodumesque?
“Bodumesque:

>; )
okay, now I get it – same root word as bodacious
No, I’m just havin’ a larf. Bodum make kitchen accessories (coffee percs, tea steepers, etc) which absolutely reek of hipster pretentiousness

crap! I’m a hipster! nah, even using a bodum couldn’t squeeze me into that monkey suit. but a bodum does make great coffee. i have a ‘lectric that’s preprogrammed to start smelling up the house at 5am, but that’s just caffeine. if i want a rare evening or afternoon cup just for the pleasure of it, bodum does it. grind good beans, then boil fresh well water, poured into the bodum, let it get acquainted with the coffee, then presssssssssssssss down the thingamajig and pour.
It’s all good Molly’s Mom. I like ham but I’m not a hamster. >; )

Thanks for clearing up the etymological confusion, old CI. That’s some interesting photoshop art. I thought it was from the Fellini school. Don’t think I’ve ever had Bodum-prepared java but I do frequent the local coffee chains so who knows? I’ll be on the lookout for it now, but if it’s over $3 a cup, I’ll wait til someone else is buying
Not photoshopped. It’s an actual device. It looks like it should be in a laboratory scene from some 1920’s German film, emanating electricity like a Tesla coil. I’ll stick with the overpriced milkshakes.
