You. Yeah, you. The little pissant behind the counter looking at me like I just attempted to explain Schroedinger’s cat to you with sign language – Gimme my fuckin’ latte.
Whaddya mean “did I mean grande”? No, asswipe, I meant large. I don’t speak French. Whether or not you’ve noticed we are in America – I’m not speaking Spanish, so by process of elimination that means I’m probably speaking English. Gimme a large latte.
What?!? No I didn’t bring my own cup. I’m paying you five dollars for a cup of coffee, I just figured you’d throw in the “fabricated from recycled panda assholes” cup for free. Go figure. Just give me a large latte in a paper cup for the obscene price of a pack of smokes, wouldja please?
Oh, I’m being rude? You’re gonna get your manager? Good, go get him.
Wait . . .
Before you do I would like to apologize. See, I’m probably about the same age as your parents so I’m gonna take a leap here and figure that you are semi-retarded like every other teenage male on the planet. So I apologize that when your father was your age he made decisions with his dick too.
I’m not sure what type of 976-suckuoff line he dragged your poor mother out of but I’m relatively certain you weren’t what they had in mind when dear old dad finally got the chance to whip out that 2 1/2 year-old condom he kept in his wallet between the autographed Wham concert ticket and the free arcade token card.
You are the reason condoms have an expiration date.
I would also like to apologize that, because mommy and daddy were young, they had no idea what to do with your screaming, shitting, whining little ass twenty-four, seven. I’m sorry they tried to be your friend instead of your parents for the first twelve years of your life.
That doesn’t give you the right to be a prick.
I am not sorry that after putting up with your dumb ass for sixteen years they finally decided to teach you responsibility and make you get a fucking job. I’m sorry that made you bitter. Welcome to the world. Get over it.
I’m really fucking sorry I’m even in here. If Starbuck’s hadn’t snapped up every square inch of free land on the planet, maybe I could have found a damn Denny’s and bought a real cup of actual coffee. Not a fucking “latte” which, I’m convinced, is French for “coffee that tastes like a skunk’s asshole”. I can’t even stand walking into this place, I’m afraid that somebody else that actually works for a living may see me and I’ll never live it down.
So see, life sucks for both of us right now. It sucks for you because you’re life is hard – I know, I was there once. The world is just conspiring against you and nobody “understands you”. Guess what – we do understand you
We just don’t give a shit.
I feel bad that you had to take time out from your “creative” schedule to get an actual job, if that’s what you choose to call this. And that your daddy won’t just “let you be you”. Maybe now he understands that a “creative arts major” is college-speak for “I’m just here to get laid”. He’s probably figured that out over the last sixteen years. Where do you think your dumbass came from?
Do you think daddy wanted to be stuck for the rest of his life in the shitty can’t-hardly-pay-the-bills job so he could support your rude little ass? Frankly I’m surprised he hasn’t taken a bat to the side of your thick-ass skull yet. He did something worse, though, didn’t he?
He made you get a job.
So now I’m standing in front of your rude little punk-ass in your cute little faggoty green apron in a built-in-ten-minutes over-sized outhouse that smells like a bucket of assholes trying to order a cup of coffee. And you’re giving me attitude? I order a large latte and you can’t even do that? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Listen, Scooter, here’s what you’re gonna do: grab one of those big recycled panda-ass cups, pour some “latte” in it – whatever the fuck that is – hand it to me, take my five dollars, give me a dirty look because I didn’t toss my change into your “tip” jar for pouring liquid in a cup – when did that start to warrant extra compensation – bullshit! Then, if you feel the need, go get your manager Tad, or Biff, or whatever his stupid, yuppie, underachieving ass’ name is, and bring him up here. I’ll let him know what a failure he is too.
Then finish up your shift, go directly home with your tail between your legs, and immediately apologize to your mother and father for completely fucking up all their hopes and dreams and basically being a complete moron for the entirety of your life thus far. Promise them you’ll never breed. Go get a real fuckin’ job. One without a nametag unless it has stripes on the collar and an American flag on the shoulder. Spend the next forty years of your life attempting to redeem the last sixteen. Try hard.
Welcome to reality. Get over it.
And pull up your fuckin’ pants.
Have a nice day.
