Few weeks ago, my friend and I decided to meet at Starbucks but I was a bit early so decided to order and wait for him. I’m not a coffee person but no big deal for me if we’re meeting in a coffee shop cause you know, Starbucks (like other shops) have non-coffee drinks. But i felt awkward when I asked the cashier for a hot choco - some people in that shop looked at me. No over reactions, but i feel like they were surprised with what i ordered.
Sometimes you just need to reverse the situation in your head, put yourself in their shoes, and think about how you would react.
So you’re working a shift at Starbucks, hundreds of customers come in a day and order all kinds of drinks. Maybe it’s mostly coffee, but they’re pretty popular for their non coffee drinks too.
A singular person comes in, maybe mid shift, and orders a hot chocolate. Do you honestly even give it a second thought?
