I’d be that bitch that straight up would ask: “are you having a bad day? I’m picking up some some micro aggressions. Anyways, hope your day gets better!”
As I stare directly at them and close the window 🙃

If I had an interaction like that today I probably would’ve gone back and punched the fridge. People are so fucking rude to us it’s insane.

What’s the deal with those cards anyway and why can’t they reload them themselves? Some kind of weirdo concierge service. They should ask their grandchildren to do that for them. They’re always so stinky about it.
Just get the app, but pay with the app. “Scan only” and hand me a credit card or worse yet cash has me like 🙄

that’s what i’m thinking. it’s so easy (in fact easier) than having the barista load it for them. majority of the time they ask me mid transaction to reload their card like you couldn’t have at least asked me before i charged you? or you couldn’t have done it yourself so this whole process didn’t have to take up another minute for me to figure everything out? some people are just so lazy they can’t press a few buttons on their phone it’s genuinely sad. it’s understandable if they have a physical card and don’t have a phone that has some sort of touch screen (like a flip phone) bc i have seen that before but it’s another thing if you’re literally USING THE APP ON YOUR MOBILE DEVICE. like please, save us the frustration and do it yourself before you come here.

I will never get over The Stare of customers in the drive through. I don’t know what it is that makes them look like they just walked into the wrong class on the first day of college but it’s legit like 80% of the time
That lady sounds like a straight up bitch tho sorry

make it even better, a melted lego on concrete. happened to me in Mexico when i was in 5th grade… that shit hurt worse than stepping on a lego by itself🥴
