Big guy walks in asks politely if anyone is sitting next to me. I Said no, so he put his stuff down and went to counter.
When he comes back he’s talking VERY loudly with a young guy that is also talking in elevated tones.
Turns out the young guy brought in a used paper cup from another coffee house, and convinced the barista that he was getting a ‘refill’ and should only have to pay the 80cents in stead of the 161 for a full cup. I guess the gal conceded but the big guy called him on it and they proceeded to take their argument from the counter right in front of me.
The young guy kept going on about how this big guy started a dialogue about it but now refuses to discuss it. (the big guy was like, you’re a cheapskate and your ripping off the store by bringing in your own cup from another place nonetheless asking for a refill price)
the young guys just wouldn’t let it drop though. Jabber jabber jabber for line 10 minutes.
There was no way I could finish what I was doing and I started packing up.
And then the jabber mouth goes, “see now you made this guy leave” (me) .
So I butt in and I said, “ya know, my two cents is that he’s right (the big guy) and I walked out.
What I wanted to say was, Dude….you ARE a cheapskate, pay the extra 80 cents for a cup, and despite it being wrong, leave the big guy alone because it appears you’re only upset about the fact that he called you on it in front of everyone.
And by the way….maybe you should switch to decaf too.
SHUT UP and leave already.
That was my adventure.
Last week toe nails, this week jabber mount cheapskate.
