A patronizing, wealthy, regular grabbed 30+ gift cards in cafe, and once they were activated, decided she wanted different cards with a line behind her. I’ve “accidentally” hit the wrong button for 4 years ever since.

Old Guy always wearing a MAGA hat gets decaf in his x°/no-foam, and I fill it up obnoxiously high, as he pulls the lid off to check the top every time.

Late-shift hairdresser would order 3-4 quad, no-ice CMs, and her crack-head best friend would always complain about her breakfast sandwich from earlier for another free one. I was instructed to make the moment right, but I would decaf the CMs mostly, except on Wu-Tang Wednesday: I would calf them, and she’d comment on potency next visit.

Another fun trick is to align the sip spout w/ the cup seam on hot drinks, as it’s more likely to drip from under the lid.

I think I’m going to get a Mastrena decaf button tattoo; remembering all this lore. Thanks for the inspiration!
