Flattered.
Usually when I'm making bar drinks for the cafe and drive-through at the same time during a rush, I like to keep my head low and try not to look at the angry customers who are more than likely looking at the time or tapping their feet impatiently. I know if I acknowledge they're there, they'll acknowledge how slow I am and that they've been waiting a whole 5 minutes. I just try to bust out the drinks as efficiently as possible.
I called out a drink and made the mistake of making eye contact with the recipient, so I said, "Thanks!" like a good baristabot, hoping he wouldn't verbally abuse me in some way.
He opened his mouth to speak, so I prepared my, "sorry for the wait blahblahblah" spiel in my head, but what he said completely baffled me.
"Wow! You're so fast and amazing to watch! Thanks!"
That was completely unexpected.
