It’s not often in life that one is sent a special dry-ice-cradled rush package full of meat and pastry dough from a leading automobile manufacturer, and when it happens, we all must savor the moment.

This sounds fantastic.

And sometimes people want to select a latte with flavouring, and sometimes people want just espresso and milk. You don’t like flavouring in your coffee, that’s fine. Others do. 

Eh, sometimes I want drip coffee and sometimes I want a fancy latte.

I’m also Canadian, but I find I want maple more in the autumn rather than any other time, and that’s when all the fancy maple drinks happen/ start being marketed. In my experience, anyway.

Yeah, okay, I’ll buy it.

Can confirm: bnibbling almonds is almost meditative, and if I’m ragey I will eat a bag of carrots.

A Starbucks frapp, or some other overly sugared, bad for you drink.

I really love the “Space Squad” shirt, and I am vaguely resentful about that.

I think you might be right. Thanks!

Claire! Claire! What is that apple-shaped thing behind you, and where can I get one?

Yeah...our owners tapped into the Filipino work program thing, so it was all Filipinos biding their time, or middle-aged mothers who got out at 15:00 to pick the kids up. A few university kids, like I was. And some teens in the afternoon, but even those started tapering off after a while.

The bagels are tasty, I won’t argue there—I certainly made enough of them.

I find most juice a bit sweet these days, but I like it mixed with sparkling water.

On the one hand, I am suspicious...but you have never failed me before.

If they were a shoe style I enjoyed at all, I’d be pretty tempted.

Ah, but if I were rich I could get that steampunk robot one I saw once. It would be rad as hell, even though my 20$ coffeemaker still makes coffee just fine.

I spent too many years trying to scrub the coffee smell out of my pores, it was awful.

Right? If I were mindnumblingly rich, I’d learn to cook for real and have an on-call team of baristas instead of a chef. Or at least a really good coffee machine.

The Canadian politeness?
