Skip the cream please

[thefemalegreenday]

I work at a cafe and I find it so funny.
People will come in and order a muffin, but when I ask if they'd like some butter with that there like "No thanks, I'll be healthy"
or they'll pass on the cream with the DOUBLE FUDGE mocha or thick chocolate cake.
Or they think there being a health nut by buying a spinach sausage roll or spinach muffin. *roll eyes*
And oh my gosh, when the order a large mocha or hot chocolate they stay "trim please."

XP Its so fustrating!

As my name suggests, I used to be someone who thought of muffins as goods that were good for you.

And I know exactly what you mean. My very first job years ago was working at a concessionist at a movie theater. I can't tell you how many times I heard someone order an extra-large popcorn with extra butter and then ask for a diet coke... or get a large regular coke, a bag of candy, and a popcorn then ask for no butter because they were "on a diet."

On the other hand, it's funny when I go to Starbucks and request cream in my decaf. Often the reply is: "The half-and-half is on the counter."

I then clarify—do you have something that is 100% cream and NOT half milk? It takes a bit of back-and-forth before the light bulb comes on and they understand what I'm talking about. I assume the ignorance is due to all the other people who ask for soy milk, 1% and non-fat milk. *shudder*
