I used to have a problem when I visited bars as a regular: I always got drinks that were TOO STRONG 'cause the bar tender knew and liked my company. I'm not really complaining because it saved me a lot of money and I did as I was supposed to: I brought people to their bar. Still do.
Now that I don't go out every day of the week (can no longer survive hangovers) I drink coffee. Depending on the location I'm at is which coffee shop I frequent and now that I'm their regulars, they're making my drinks super strong, too. Which is why I can't sleep right now and am two hours past my bed time.
Again, I'm not fully complaining, it's sweet. And coming from different baristas that's even sweeter. But boy, sleep would be nice right now.
The one today is funny though. He doesn't speak much English but I come in at least once a week. For the first few I kept getting Caramel Macchiatos & cupcakes (they have awesome frosting... that's really the reason I buy cupcakes -- but an added bonus is they cook the cake part CORRECTLY; rare find in Korea) so one time I entered and he immediately said "Cupcakes" which as embarrassing 'cause it made me feel like a pig; so I ordered a mocha to throw him off and left without cupcakes. Today he made no assumptions (they failed the last to times to guess what I wanted) and just said bonjour -- but I didn't know what he had said because he didn't pronounce it correctly so I embarrassed him with a confused 'eh?' He might think I'm French. People in Italy did.
