Customer brings me a fancy coffee each morning that's completely wasted on an uncivilized caveman like myself, but I appreciate the gesture (feddit.uk)

Something about this picture just screams middle school maths book cover.

You're free to use it if you cut me in

[-] Yondoza@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Bottom right corner ok? Could use a face down there.

[-] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

Those poor middle schoolers did nothing to deserve that kind of treatment.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Do you enjoy the coffee? Then it's not wasted.

What's the story with this ruler. It seems to be have markings for measuring up to 20.5cm of length, but it's labeled from 10 to 30. Why does it not start from zero?

[-] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

It used to be 30 cm long, but I shortened it and rounded the corners. I had to cut off the first 10 cm rather than the 20–30 cm section, because otherwise I'd lose the markings for the first few millimetres when I grind the corner.

It's not wasted on you, bro: you are important.

you ungrateful peasant!

[-] mogoh@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Sounds like a grateful peasant to me.

You look more like a fine craftsman

Not wasted! If she's anything like me, the fact that the coffee is fancy is largely for herself. I can't stand offering anyone in my house worse coffee than I would make for myself, unless they specifically prefer it that way. It just feels so wrong.

If you get any extra enjoyment out of the fanciness level, that's just additional icing on the cake.

Iittala Taika-mug! Customer has a nice taste!

that is a very kind gesture. i have a client who brings me mcdonalds coffee and you know what? hell yeah i don't have to get up and get a cup of coffee i fucking appreciate that.

that coffee is not wasted on you at all dude. you deserve it

[-] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

The coffee isn't wasted - just the fancy part of it. It's pretty good coffee though. They've got a proper espresso machine too.

Absolutely not complaining here. I'm so fucking delighted to see how nice most people actually are. I really do enjoy the human encounters in my job which I'm surprised to say.

She's half naked isn't she? Bastard! Lucky freaking bastard!

She's literally offering herself to your every desire and all you....damn! Oh wait. She says its just coffee. Yeah, all good. You do your thing.

[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

They're doing the long con, so to say, by cultivating the acquired taste. By the end of the job you'll be able to tell the difference between Kenyan and Ethiopian arabica.

Lady customer is into cave man maybe?

[-] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

Doesn't concern me for as long as her husband is my best paying customer.

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 months ago

It just may not be with money….

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org -1 points 2 months ago

Eww. Can't be nice nowadays?

It's a foamed milk /w espresso with cocoa powder on top and not a sexual advance. Might even be made from a pod machine as opposed to a proper espresso machine. Not a blowjob.
