Two other girls and myself were waiting for our drinks to be made.
She continued talking with the guy, not even trying to make drinks at the same time. It might have been only a minute or two, but it seemed like eternity, and I started fuming inside! I think what irritated me the most is that she didn't seem to care that other people might be waiting for the coffee. It just seemed inconsiderate (not to mention bad customer service).
Plus, I work at a coffee shop, so I know the importance of getting people's drinks made quickly!
Arg! So finally I yelled to her, "I'm Sorry! Can you please make our coffees now?" It might sound not that bad in type, but it sounded mean when I said it.
I'm sure I embarrassed her, and I felt bad. So, after that she made our coffees and I slinked away, also embarrassed.
Should I apologize to her if I see her again? I don't want to be that "mean" customer that she hates. But then again, I feel justified in what I said. I just wish I hadn't said it the way I did.


Yeah. I wouldnt have yelled. But I would have told her that I didnt have all day to wait
