Chill, Express, Mine


“Double soy half-caff espresso with a lemon twist!”

As I reach for my drink, another patron reaches for it too.

“Excuse me”, I say politely, “I’ve been waiting twenty minutes for my drink. I’m late for work as it is and…”

“Puh-lease!”, said the mouth, trying to be cool and chill but the face was anything but. “I’ve been waiting thirty minutes for mine, that is it, so excuse me for not discussing this further.”

Two hands pulling a small takeaway cup in two different directions equals spilled coffee everywhere.

Too bad there isn’t an express coffee service.
