Paranoia

The themes today are simply “suspicion” and “Paranoia”.

As we give people our suspicious look, you know with slightly squinted eyes and maybe just a bit of a side glance, many people become paranoid. We are just giving the look because we want to, yet their brains start to tick and they try to think of a reason as to why we might be suspicious of them. “Are you suspicious of me today because of this…?” as to which we reply “we’re not actually suspicious of you, we’re just giving you that look today, but NOW we have a reason to be suspicious of you.”. Enter the raise of an eye brow as you gain the upper hand and now we have a new pawn to move around the board. Interesting. Name no names (Simon).

Today I also had my first ever direct complaint. It was regarding my milk and wasn’t actually a complaint, but an observation as to me doing something wrong. This has made me paranoid since I always steam my milk the same and I feel that I’m very consistent with my steaming. So am I always making peoples drinks wrong? The observation came from a large latte and the fact that whenever I steam the milk, the drink feels lighter. “This is a latte, not a cappuccino, know what I mean?” Not a complaint, he was just telling me. So every milk after that I was checking and getting people to double check them too let me know if I was making them to foamy, and none were at all. I put alot of air into the milk and give it a nice thickness, but there’s barely any foam. GAH! I’m now going to be paranoid about this forever, I guess I’m not taking criticism very well today.

We were enjoying some Detour coffee today, I think we’ll start to stock it as a local roaster once we get prices and things set-up.

That is all for now.
