As soon as the woman said, “Excuse me,” Hannah
knew there would be trouble.
Maybe it was the way her razor-sharp bullshitometer shrieked like a newborn. Maybe it was her years of
experience working with kids, AKA masters of pushing their
luck and shirking responsibility. Whatever the reason,
Hannah’s muscles tensed and her smile froze into place before
she’d even turned to look at the customer. The customer who,
according to her instincts, was about to try some nonsense.
It was the four-chai-tea-lattes-thanks blonde from five minutes
ago, said chai lattes sitting on the counter in front of her. She
pushed her honeyed fringe out of her eyes with a hand that
bore a rock the size of Gibraltar. Then she tapped the counter
impatiently with one French-manicured claw, just in case the
solar flare coming off that ring wasn’t enough to alert Hannah
to her presence.
“Can I help you?” Hannah asked sweetly, knowing very well
that her patience was about to be tested. For the ninth time that
day.
God must be punishing me for staring at Emma Dowl’s arse in
church last week.
“I didn’t order these,” the woman said. “I wanted plain lattes.
Not chai.” She spoke with such casual confidence, Hannah
almost forgot that she was lying through her expensive teeth.
But that blip of confidence passed quickly as Hannah’s
memory whirred to life.
“No,” shw said pleasantly. “I gave you exactly what you
ordered. You came in…” she glanced up at the clock.“Seven
minutes ago. You waited in the queue behind two other people
—an older gentleman who ordered a teacake for his wife, and
the gentleman in the suit who had a double espresso to go—
and when it was your turn you ordered four chai lattes, double
shot in two, caramel syrup in the others, one of the double
shots 20 degrees cooler. I charged you £14.95, and you paid
with a black Santander Select.”
The woman stared blankly at Hannah for a moment, like a
robot forced to recalibrate. Then her pretty face twisted into an
unattractive scowl, and she spat, “I don’t appreciate the way
you’re speaking to me.”
Hannah maintained her calm smile and pleasant tone. “I’m
sorry you feel that way.” She should keep her mouth shut and
make the damn lattes. Again. But she’d been at work for eight
hours, and she’d spent the last three manning the café alone.
They were ten minutes from closing. Her shoes pinched and
her uniform culottes—yes, culottes—dug into her hips
awfully, because she’d gained weight again and the damned
things didn’t come higher than a size 16.
Frankly, Hannah was Not in the Mood.
Apparently, neither was Ms. Latte. She huffed so hard, her
fluffy, blonde fringe fluttered. Then she deployed the seven
most dangerous words in customer service. “I want to speak to
your manager!”
