THE MOST ANNOYING thing about men is they always assume that you actually
give a damn what they’re talking about. I stand at the register, nodding to the
customer on the other side of the counter in hopes that by pretending to care,
he’ll order quicker.
His suit looks expensive, even if it is a little too large on him. Judging by
his arrogance and the way he carries himself, coupled with the fact that this is
a small town and I don’t recognize his face, my guess is that he isn’t from
around here.
“It’s just, I think you should really consider sourcing your coffee beans
from somewhere else,” he continues, pushing me past my breaking point.
I give him a sickeningly sweet smile. “I don’t remember asking for your
advice. Remind me what you’d like to order again?”
His mouth falls open in shock. “I know this amazing coffee shop in New
York that—”
I clap my hands together. “Great, you can get your coffee from there,
then!” I look around him, motioning for the next person in line. “Next,” I
state, trying to get rid of the guy standing in front of me.
The dude in a suit narrows his bushy eyebrows. “Excuse me,” he argues,
turning around to the customer behind him. “I’m not done ordering yet.”

have no desire to let some stranger tell me how to run it.
My nostrils flare as I take a deep breath. Being rude to customers is not
something I enjoy, but I’m tired, and there’s a line of people behind him that
I need to attend to. Once I get the chance to step away from the register, I
also need to put a new batch of cupcakes in the oven and begin prepping all
of the pastries for tomorrow.
There are a thousand things on my to-do list, and none of them involve
looking for new coffee beans.
“What can I get you?” I ask, my voice dejected.
His lips purse. I brace for him to bring up the topic again, but he doesn’t.
“I’ll take a water, please.”
I fight the urge to tell him we have multiple water stations set up around
the shop. At this point, I’ll do whatever it takes to get him out of the line so I
can help the next person. “One water. Got it. Name, please?”
“Peter.”
I nod, writing his name on the hot pink cup. “Peter,” I repeat. He looks
like a Peter.
I set his cup in the line of drinks that need to be made. I have one of my
