First of all, I love smoothies. I know that I’m a guy and guys are not supposed to like anything that tastes good, or comes through a straw, but still.  For about 2 years, I’ve been enjoying a certain smoothie, from a smoothie store, which will remain nameless…I mean, this is the internet and I don’t want to go spreading bad things about one of my favorite places.

In the last few weeks, I’ve been very dissappointed with my ordering experience.  Let me give you a run down of how it goes, without fail, every single time I order:

them: Are you ready to order?

me: yes (really wanting to say, “are you actually ready to take my order?)

them: “Ok, what would you like today?”

me: (in my head: “I’d like for you to pay attention to me this time”)…”I’d like a ‘Small, Mangofest, strawberries INSTEAD of pineapple”

them: uhh…ok…you said…a….medium…

me: a small…(I don’t have time for quotation marks anymore)

them: ohhh…ok…a small…AngelFood…

me: Mangofest…a SMALL, Mangofest…

them: oh…that’s right…small…mangofest…with No strawberries

me: (the drink doesn’t even come with strawberries. How do you not know that?)…NO. Listen to me. Do you have a bluetooth thing in that I can’t see? Are you sleepwalking?  I want a SMALL. MangoFEST. Strawberries. NO Pineapple.

them: hmmm…

me: can I just come back there and make it?…or just turn the little computer screen around and I’ll type it in myself?

them: what’s the name for the order? (I’m the ONLY person in the place…)

me: how ’bout “the only guy in here”

them: ummm…a medium?

me: yeah, a medium.

This video helps me relax. Enjoy

So, what does your frustrated ordering experience look like?
