Have you ever had one of those moments when you wish a meteorite or something else out of the sky suddenly hits you so you don’t have to face the consequences of doing something utterly stupid?
Well, My kids wanted to go to Starbucks and I said ok. Owning 2 coffee shops I never go to Starbucks and also don’t know the procedure there. It also doesn’t help that people constantly confuse Frank with Craig, never Greg. So, we go into this place that is the size of Country Waffles and is packed. I told the kids to go sit at a table while I order. I order 3 large coffees and some cream. Again not hearing Frank being called made it more confusing but after about 10 minutes, Craig’s order is called. So, I have 3 drinks to carry and a side of cream. Me being in the restaurant business I declined the drink carrier.
Now understand that special needs kids or adults can not control their emotions, so when I come to the table and inadvertently spill the large coffee all over the table and the 2 of them, I had hoped for mercy. Well, mercy didn’t happen. The two of them were embarrassed and therefore took it out on me, in front of everybody, which I totally deserved. So, here I am being yelled at in front of a lot of people with a huge mess to clean up and no place to hide and not a meteorite in sight.
