My coffee shop closes at 8pm, two white kids came in at 7:57 (company rules state that we can't turn a customer away until it's 8pm on the dot, unless the manager decides to overrule it), and asked
"can we have one last coffee? PLEAAAAASE? I know, so sorry to be those people"
They seemed nice enough and apologetic, so my manager didn't pull rank, and said "sure, what would you like?"
"One oat milk latte with caramel and cream, and one Soya hot chocolate latte, with hazelnut, thanks".
*hands over two Starbucks takeout cups*
(We're a rival coffee shop).
.
If you stood close enough to my manager, you could hear the vibrations in her skull from all the internal screaming.
.
*edit for context*
Oat milk is a tricky one, as people have allergies, so we have to make certain allowances for this. Soya milk isn't such a bad thing, but a massive pain in the arse, when you've already cleaned and wiped down the coffee machine, and put away most milk alternative jugs leading up to a close.
