Three Weeks Earlier...

I looked at the customer boredly as she complained to me about her drink.

"I said I wanted almond milk in this," the old bitch said. "And I said I wanted it upside down style and..." she held her cup up, "I can still taste the milk."

"Ma'am, you ordered an iced vanilla latte," I said. That's all she wanted. No special instructions. What does she think I am? A mind reader?

She gave me a look. "Don't talk back to me."

"I am not talking back to you."

She got more pissed. "And what do you call that with an attitude? Where is the manager?"

"I am one of the managers."

"I mean a real manager."

Steve, my supervisor, rushed over. Ugh, I hate that guy. "Hey, hey, hey. What's going on here?"

The bitch held up her drink. "I ordered a vanilla latte with almond milk served upside down and got shit instead!" She glared at me. "And then your employee was talking back to me like I'm some kind of stupid idiot."

She said it, not me. Man, I hate it when customers' do this. They throw a fit hoping they get free food.

Steve smiled at her. "Perrie would be more than happy to make you a new drink." Steve gave me a look. "Won't you, Perrie?"

"Yeah." Steve cleared his throat. I mentally rolled my eyes before I smiled at the old bat. "Anything for the customer is the Candy Coffee way." Steve handed me the coffee and I went to the back. "Stupid bitch."

Lily handed me the lady's drink. "I heard it from here," she said. "The old hag always does this."

"I know." I coughed up a loogie before I spat it in the new cup. Lily laughed as I grabbed another cup and flipped the drink in. "What? It gives it a little kick."

Lily laughed. "You're terrible."

"I know. It keeps me awake at night." I winked at her before heading towards the front. I handed the bitch her coffee. "Here you go."

The chick glared at me before smiling at Steve. "Thank you so much."

"Anything for a valued customer," Steve replied.

God, the bitch might as well drop her pants with all the ass kissing Steve's doing. The only thing that made this day better was the old hag drinking her coffee.

I groaned as Beth, Annie, and I relieved our day while at the diner my good friend, Ruby, works at. Beth was halfway through her wax when her card got declined.

"I don't even want to know," Ruby said as she set the coffee pot on our table.

I sighed. "That bitch, Kathy, made another appearance."

Annie made a face. "What she complained about this time?"

"That her coffee wasn't with almond milk or upside down."

"What the hell is upside down?"

"Basically pour the liquids into another cup so they could mix. At least it's not a poor man's coffee."

"What the hell is a poor man's coffee?" Ruby asked.

I held my hands out. "I don't know, it's like half hot chocolate mixed with regular coffee."

"Then why don't they say that? How many ways are there to make coffee?"

"Apparently, a lot." I looked at Beth. "Now finished the story about how that douchebag husband maxed out your credit card at some lingerie store. Give me the bitch's name and she'll end up in a hospital."
