This one
has got to be the vents of all vents. I just left
B&N, and I’m still ticked at everything happened in there today. I rushed home to sit and talk with y'all about it. Thanks for always being good listeners.
I had
reservations about going to B&N in the first place, but since the weather was
just beautifully scary here in December with temps that feel like Spring, I figured, I'd get out a bit. I didn’t take my laptop as I usually do, 'cause if so, I would have been giving it to you live in action. :) Anyway, I browsed a bit and
found some reference books and then found a nice comfy chair in a corner and cuddled in. I sat there every bit
of 20 minutes until this woman walks up to me and tells me that I’m sitting in
her seat. I know I gave her the wtf face, I know I did, ‘cause I’m
guilty of it every time somebody says something stupid to me.
I asked her what
did she say, although I heard her the first time. She told me she had a book in the chair reserving HER seat while she was gone to get coffee. I
told her there was noBODY sitting there, and what does a book do.
She kept insisting that I was sitting in her seat. I told her that she was lucky that I felt like being nice, ‘cause she obviously
needed that particular chair. I told her the next time she wants to reserve a seat, make sure a body is in it, and that books are lying around throughout the store; even in chairs, so who's to know what chair is for who. She then gave me the look. I got up and left her ass
standing there.
I went up the escalator and found another seat and cuddled in. Honestly I was WISHING (Kings of Comedy-Cedric the Entertainer) a book was sitting in that chair (there wasn't), 'cause I was ready for the next episode. Anyway, I fell back in my mode and continued reading. I sat there about an hour then decided I was ready to go.
I went back downstairs to the Café to purchase one of the books. I
also ordered a Venti Cinnamon Dulce Latte, extra hot extra shot and a slice of
Pumpkin Cheesecake. I paid the cashier and waited for the barista to make my
drink. I also waited for the cashier to get the cheesecake for me, as they
always do. The line was building up around me, so I moved toward the pick-up side of the counter. The barista handed me the coffee in a Grande size. (That’s the next size down from the Venti.) I told him I'd ordered Venti, he apologized and poured the contents into the larger cup,
squirted more syrup and added more milk. I swear I know I gave him that same
look I gave that woman earlier.
I asked him was he going to
remake the drink, and aren’t the portions of expresso different between the
sizes. He told me that the two drinks are the same in portions of expresso. I found that incredible and thought he was just trying to get off at making another drink. (And he did!, 'cause I didn't push the issue)
I tasted the coffee and it was TOO SWEET! Oooh y’all know I don’t like sweet drinks! Especially coffees and
teas. I then told him I was still waiting on my cheesecake. That boy went over
and picked up the damn cheesecake with his bare hands and put it in a to-go container.
As he was bringing it over to me, some freaking man was
hacking up all his insides just over my shoulder with an uncovered mouth.
Freaking germs all over me. I stepped back quickly and grabbed my cheesecake. I was pissed. Can’t
you tell I was pissed. I’m being very selective with my language even now,
cause up in there I wanted to cuss somebody the f out.
I looked back at the boy who handed me the cheesecake and gave him the, I saw what you did look. He was trying to use his body as a cover with his back to me while he was getting the cheesecake, but when he moved to bring it to me, there was no utensils or wax paper left behind (which they use sometime to pick up food items). He knew I had busted him.
Before I got out the door, I threw the cheesecake and coffee in the
garbage, and that damn coughing person was still coughing. That’s nasty, especially when they aint got the audacity to cover their freaking mouth!
I drove
away from that place and promised that I wouldn’t let those moments consume me,
but hell I think it’s too late. People! I swear.
…Thanks for
listening…That's why I love yall.
