I asked for a flat white with full cream milk. Lady said we only have........... and listed off about 6 types of milk.
I said no probs, skim milk is fine.
She then said we don’t have that either. I said what milk do you have. She said, I just told you. I then said sorry but I wasn’t listening could she repeat them.
She sighs and says, almond milk, rice milk, soy milk and 3 other types I’ve never heard of.
I said I’ve never had any of them but give me almond milk.
It was sh*thouse.
Anyway told the wife and she said that’s a vegan coffee shop.

#2 - “How much do you think we’ll win?” (this was asked seriously) Me - “Hopefully a million each, but I can’t guarantee anything” #2 - “How will you give me the money that I win?” Me - “Like I said, there’s no promise we will win anything.

In my first few months in the company, the people in the office ran a $2 lotto thing every week.
I didnt know about it, but they put me in it anyway. One day I got back from a delivery run to the then accounts lady asking me for my $2 since she had covered me.
When I said I didnt have any cash on me, she cracked it and said "I cant afford to keep covering you!"
I walked inside and removed myself from the lotto syndicate I had no idea I was in.
