The weather today was TERRIBLE!
The heat was enough to melt the soles on my shoes... IF my shoes still had its soles.
The only consolation I had was to hear my friends in various regions of Australia complain about "freezing their asses/balls off". Makes you appreciate the sun here for a lil while, with the way the go on about it, til u realise that you've got about a half hour left before melting into nothingness. Even that one lil' indulgence i had to cut short lest i melt off my seat. Hey, at least a frozen ass is still an intact one.The heat here threatens to turn it all into one huge, shapeless mass of blubber. Don't get me started on what happens to balls.
So, yeah. Enough of that.
To escape from the heat, I tagged along with my parents to SS2 and camped out at Coffeebean while they went about their business. I placed my order of my usual Ultimate Ice-Blended, two extra shots of expresso, minus the whipped cream.
Then the guy repeated my order; "So it's just one small caramel ice-blended with two shots of..."
Caramel? CARAMEL?!
Like, yo. Dude. Everyone knows I only take the ultimate ice-blended, two extra shots of expresso and minus the whipped cream. And, for the record, anything, ugh, caramel, is at the bottom of my list. Rock bottom. IF it even makes my list. The Coffebean guys in 1U know that. The Coffeebean guys here know that.
Well, okay, maybe he's new. So I promptly went; "Oh, no-no-No!" and corrected him, with an expression so aghast that u'd think it was a mortal sin to even suggest that i consume, ugh, caramel.
Then he said; "Oh. *chuckles* I thought you said 'caramel' (there's that dreaded word again)" and proceeded to correct my order.
So I paid and waited for my drink to arrive.
The guy plonked a serving of some light brown gook which bore no resemblance whatsoever to my Ultimate Ice-Blended on the counter. I was just this close to slammin my head against the counter when he smiled cheerfully at me and proudly porclaimed; "Miss, your Caramel ice-blended!"
I picked up the, ugh, drink, and with a wide grin, replied; "Oh, thank you very much!" =D
BLOODY, INCOMPETENT, HEARING-IMPAIRED... *grumble, grumble*
I sat down and suspiciously eyed the, ugh, drink, for a good few minutes. Icky brown, like drain water only... Translucent brown striped all over... wth is that? Fungus? I'll sue if it's fungus! And... and... Who's ever heard of CARAMEL Ice-Blended with EXPRESSO shots?! Bloody, vile, disgusting shit of...
HEYyy...
...this isn't half bad!
A tad too sweet for my taste, but... it'll do... it'll do...
*hurrumph*
BUT it's still no bloody excuse for the sort of incompetency I had to endure!
