Medium Regular

Order: Small Black

Disorder:

People who order a small black coffee should not be allowed to order coffee at all. It is so pure in its simplicity it seems almost impure. I would submit that most of these people are ex-convicts striving for a better life, and hope the order does not bring attention to the ankle bracelet they are currently wearing.

Order: Extra Large Double Double

Disorder:

This is the epitomy of those grandiose, grand standing “hey look at me” type of people. They are inconsiderate to a fault as they force the staff to pour hot coffee for a much longer time, putting their bodies at risk of a serious burn. They tend to wear odd looking hats that could use a good blocking and will initate conversation in line with openers that always start with, “Good morning what a great day it is to be alive!”

Order: Large half decaf, half caf with milk.

Disorder:

This growing population are all Libras. The have risen to middle management in their organizations and that is where they are going to stay. They are incapable of making a decision, but will always criticize the decisions others make. In fairness most do wear very nice shoes.

Starbucks

Order: Cappuccino

Disorder:

There is a sad longing in the eyes of each of these customers. They have roots in foreign countries where residents are a lot friendlier than they currently are. Their unfriendliness is masked by their skill of being quite good at using a stir stick. People mistake the white stuff on their mouths as foaming at the mouth, but lets not mistake lack of hygiene with the need for anger management courses.

Order: Café au Lait

Disorder:

Pretension isn’t a descriptor, it’s a lifestyle for this group of upper class coffee consumers. One should avoid making eye contact with any of the sweater not worn, but over the shoulder gang. They will always pay with an American Express platinum card, forget to take it back, until the employee speaks loudly, “Anyone missing an American Express Platinum Card?” Shyly they will half raise their hand and will look around saying “I guess that’s me”. Raising their hand will disrupt the perfect synchronicity of their shoulder sweater, however without the assistance of a mirror they will place it back looking perfect as they ask for extra cinnamon.

Order: Chai Latte

Disorder:

This tee shirt wearing contact lens using coffee nerd, works in your IT department. There is a constant look of bewilderment in their left eye, as they will never understand the term” deadline” which populates every email they receive. Their ability to discuss hardware and software with equal confusing language, has kept them employed for decades.

Order: Iced White Chocolate Mocha

Disorder:

The Peter Pan syndrome is often used to describe adults who won’t grow up. This coffee order is popular with young adults, who refuse to give their parents the credit card back. The introduction of a cold coffee drink helped the industry make up a word called “ Barista”. Baristas now compete with Sommeliers to help commoners understand how little they understand about drinking things. Cold coffee changed the world as we know it, as straws, versus stir sticks became a battle that continues, without a declared winner.

(Editors note: Like alcohol, if we had put a minimum age limit to ordering coffee, none of this would have happened.)
(Editors note: I am the editor)
(Editors note: I secretly admire people with a certain expertise, since I have never possessed that quality in anything… except the proper way to replace staples in a stapler without causing excessive bleeding)

Order: Tea

Disorder:

These non-conformists are the bane of humanity’s existence. People who go into a coffee shop and order tea, are the same ones who go into a hardware store to get their groceries. Rebellion is attractive, but only if you are riding a motorcycle.

(Editors last note or I swear I will fire the editor! Because brewing a coffee costs twenty-one cents, and shops charge from $1.00 to 145.00 for a coffee, head offices thought they had created the greatest profit margin formula ever. When the first radical ordered a tea in a coffee shop, the accountants started dancing in the hallways of the head office, as tea costs only 11 cents to make. Now there are hundreds of versions of teas available and Tea Shops are popping up as quickly as Sushi Restaurants.

A theorem is really just an idea, without the uncomfortable shackles of science or evidence. Theories are similar, but because it is a plural form, I am going to assume there is a lot more wonderful information in theories. My mediocrity comes shining through with the information above, which makes my medium regular coffee even tastier today.
