“Before people are about to order their coffee they stare over my head. That’s where the menu is, so it makes sense, but sometimes I forget about that and it just looks like everyone who walks in is absolutely crazy. They open their mouths or say like “Hmmm” or “what do i want what do i want what do i want.” I usually say “I don’t know” or “Describe what tastes you like and I’ll make it. Assuming the tastes are mostly coffeeish.” Then they realize I’m there and make eye contact with me, and either smile or keep staring. In my head I make a montage of all their stares and their “hmms” and “uhhhs.”
