We have a rule in my kiosk. You dont say the "b-word" and you dont say the "s-word." "Busy" and "slow." It unsettles the vibe for the rest of the day, regardless of what's going on, andalso apparently context. Well, today, someone came in right after open and ordered and as I was making their coffee they tell me "It's going to be busy today." I tell him "we don't say the 'b-word' here. You gotta knock on wood." He smiled slyly and took his coffee without another word. Queue the entire rest of the day being absolutely chaotic. I absolutely had to check to make sure it was Tuesday and not Saturday. So, random dude this morning, you threw off our groove. I hope you're happy

Oof, I always avoid saying the q-word (quiet). Too many medics in my family

The q-word is a safe one in the kiosk. My assistant and I are from medical families, but it seems to be the only word we can use to describe the work environment without things exploding.
